North Stars in must-win situation after big loss to Bombers
The Flin Flon Bombers put the Battlefords Northstars on the brink of elimination last night after a 5-2 loss at the Whitney Forum. Regular season champion North Stars face a must-win situation for the first time this season.
The Bombers were shutout in game three for the first time at home since October and wasted no time getting their home crowd to their feet.
At just 1:04 into the game, Curtis Roach took a point shot which beat goaltender Tyler Fuhr to give the Bombers the early lead. It was an important goal for the team, as their fans were likely waiting for something to cheer about after being blanked in game three.
The North Stars power play has struggled throughout the post season and the Bombers took full advantage by scoring three goals on the man advantage.
