North Stars top first-place Mustangs in OT on retro night
Leading into Friday’s home game against the Melfort Mustangs, it seemed that North Stars captain Layne Young had pretty much done it all this season.
His 18 points in seven games were almost laughable.
Yet somehow, he recorded a first for the year in front of over 1,000 fans at the Civic Centre on retro night, when they witnessed him streak down the left wing and bury a shot five hole to give the North Stars a 3-2 overtime win over the first-place Mustangs. It was the captain’s first overtime-winning-goal of the season.
It was also the team’s fourth overtime game of the young season, meaning they’ve gone to extra time in half of their eight games so far.
