North Stars contain Hounds for second consecutive shutout victory
In what was their sixth game in nine nights, the Battlefords North Stars shut out the Notre Dame Hounds 1-0 on home ice for their 38th win of the season.
The club hasn’t allowed a goal in back-to-back games now, with each netminder recording a shutout the past two games, first Taryn Kotchorek on Friday, and then Joel Grzybowski on Saturday with a 24-save performance.
“He was on his toes,” North Stars head coach Brandon Heck said of Grzybowski’s performance, which was his 14th win in 15 games. “Great on rebounds. He was finding the puck in scrums real well tonight. He’s just a calm guy. You can’t pick a wrong goalie for us.”
Grzybowski now carries a 1.82 goals-against-average and .930 save percentage this season.
