Grzybowski, Johnson lead North Stars to game 3 win over Red Wings
They had to kill off penalty after penalty all night long and also had a goal called back for a high-stick, but nonetheless the Battlefords North Stars persevered on Tuesday night at Crescent Point Place in Weyburn, taking down the Red Wings in game three by a 4-1 score.
The second-seeded North Stars now lead the best-of-7 quarter-final series 3-0, with game four set for Wednesday night.
“The way the guys answered after a disallowed goal is just a huge testament to the character in that room,” North Stars assistant coach Boyd Wakelin said in the post-game interview on CJNB/CJNS. “Lots of times you see things like that happen to a team and it starts to unravel a bit but our guys just stuck with it.”
