North Stars take too many trips to box in loss to Klippers
For the second time in the last four contests, the Battlefords North Stars allowed three power play goals in a game.
And much like the first time on Feb. 23 against Melfort, the team came away empty handed, this time losing 5-2 to the Kindersley Klippers at the West Central Events Centre on Tuesday night.
“We got some unfortunate calls against us and didn’t react well,” North Stars head coach Brandon Heck said in the post-game interview on CJNB/CJNS. “At the end of the game, the penalties were deserved. We’ve got to grow up and we need some individuals to grow up. It’s getting too late.”
The loss is the North Stars’ third in their last seven games, and drops their record to 41-13-2 with two games remaining in the regular season.
