Little trouble for North Stars in game 1 as they take down Wings 5-1
The Battlefords North Stars physically outmatched a younger Weyburn Red Wings team in a 5-1 win on Friday night to open up their Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League quarter-final playoff series at the Civic Centre.
The defending league champions got goals from five different players, and also got one power play goal, one shorthanded goal, and three even strength goals.
“We played a good team game,” North Stars forward Keith Anderson said after the win, who had one of the five goals. “Offence from all four lines is a good indication of that.”
Chaseton Braid opened the scoring at even strength, before Cole Johnson added an unassisted shorthanded marker two and a half minutes later when he took the puck hard to the net and tucked it home.
