North Stars take 3-0 stranglehold with 7-4 win in game three
Just like in game two, the Battlefords North Stars found themselves trailing in the third period. Once again, an offensive outburst led them to victory.
The North Stars used a five-goal third period to lift them to a 7-4 victory over Kindersley on Tuesday, March 22, giving them a chance to wrap up the series Thursday night on the road. It didn’t take long for the North Stars offence to show up in game three.
After goaltender Tyler Fuhr made two great saves in the first 30 seconds of the game, Coby Downs took a shot from the left faceoff circle that deflected off the stick of Klippers defenceman Holden Daley and past Nathan Hargrave just 55 seconds into the opening frame.
Late in the period, the Klippers tied the game on the man advantage. It was an unfortunate bounce for the North Stars, as Connor Sych blocked a shot from Matt VanderSloot perfectly, but it deflected to the right face-off circle, onto Cody Young’s stick and he fired it into the open net for his sixth goal of the playoffs.
