North Stars down Bombers 5-1 to take 2-0 series lead
The Battlefords North Stars are two wins away from a Canalta Cup championship after another solid performance at home on Saturday night when they grabbed a 5-1 win.
Their current 2-0 series advantage is due to a number of factors, including a balanced attack, a superb penalty kill, cutthroat defence, and strong goaltending.
In Saturday’s game two win, which stretches the team’s overall post-season record to a perfect 10-0, those four areas showed itself once again in a big way.
The penalty kill went 6-for-6, they got goals from five different players, and Joel Gryzbowski stopped 31 of 32 pucks for his third win of the playoffs.
