Stars aim to close out Bombers in Game 6
The Battlefords North Stars head to the Whitney Forum tonight for Game 6 of their first round quarterfinal matchup with the Flin Flon Bombers, holding a 3-2 lead in the teams’ best-of-seven series.
With a victory tonight, the Stars can officially clinch their spot in the league semi-finals.
Although Sunday night’s matchup will be just the sixth game of the series, the North Stars and Bombers have played an eye-popping six overtime periods already this series, as four of the first five games have gone to extra time, including a wild triple-overtime thriller when they last met Friday in Game 5.
