Sinclair nets OT winner; North Stars come back to beat Humboldt
A slow start didn’t prevent the Battlefords North Stars from picking up two points on Tuesday night at the Civic Centre, as they downed the Humboldt Broncos 3-2 in overtime.
MacGregor Sinclair scored 3:42 into the extra frame on a shot from the high slot that went top corner after he received a pass from captain Layne Young.
“His shot is definitely underrated,” North Stars head coach Brandon Heck said after the win, which improved the North Stars record to 5-0-1. “It’s sneaky. He knows how to change stick angles and he worked hard on his skills in the summer and it’s paying off for him. Extremely happy for him. He’s a grounded kid and understands he didn’t play his best but big players step up at the right time and he did.”
Humboldt, who now have a 4-2-1 record, got out to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes thanks to goals from Kaleb Dahlgren and Evan Thomas.
