The Battlefords North Stars thrashed the Estevan Bruins Friday night 6-1 to win their third consecutive game. The victory also gives the North Stars a winning record on the season at 4-3.
After a scoreless first period that saw the North Stars come out flying, the team’s hard work paid off in the second, thanks to a terrific play defensively by offensive dynamo, MacGregor Sinclair.
Sinclair lifted the stick not once, but twice of the opposition defender exiting the Bruins’ zone, before stealing possession of the puck and in an all-in-one-motion, zipping a pass to a streaking Regan Doig rumbling into the offensive zone on his strong right-hand side.
Doig then drove to the goal with a defender hot on his trail. Matthias Urbanski, with his offensive senses tingling, shot up like lightning to join his linemate and made the rush a brief two-on-one. Just at the last moment, and almost as if in slow motion, the Olds, Alta., product, feathered a pass between the reaching defender’s stick and the desperate, lunging goaltender only to be put on a tee for Urbanski to knock home. For Urbanski, it marked his fourth goal of the season and fourth in his last five games.
