North Stars win streak snapped by Bombers
The North Stars saw their seven game winning streak snapped on Wednesday evening in a 4-2 loss to the Flin Flon Bombers at the Civic Centre.
It was a tremendous first period for the home side, but after extending their lead to 2-0 three minutes into the second, their strong forecheck dropped off significantly and with it went their lead.
“Our want and our compete dissipated as the game went on,” North Stars head coach Nate Bedford said following the team’s first loss since Nov. 19. “I think our want and compete wasn’t even close to what theirs was and kudos to them. They wanted that game and they competed as hard as we’ve seen all year and it was an eye opener for us.”
Nate Hooper cut into the North Stars 2-0 lead after great work down low from Greyson Reitmeier, who got the steal and centred for Hooper, who made no mistake going high on North Stars goalie Joel Gryzbowski.
