Stars welcome Bombers to Battleford Arena for game two of weekend series
Coming off a 5-2 victory over Flin Flon to open the weekend in Wilkie, the Battlefords North Stars will welcome the Bombers to Battleford Arena Saturday afternoon for the teams’ second game in less than 24 hours this weekend.
WIth their win Friday night, the Stars extended their league-leading record to 19-0-2-1, led by a 58-save performance by their goaltender Josh Kotai, along with five goals from five different players.
Flin Flon, who were second overall heading into the weekend, now sit second in their own division and fourth overall with a 14-5-1-1 record, though the team are still tied in points with third-place Humboldt (also 30 points), and just a single back of La Ronge (31) in second.
Among the difference-making lines for the Battlefords Friday was their veteran fourth line, constructed of Emmett Wurst, Brad Blake and Evan Waldie. Both Wurst and Waldie scored for the team in the win at pivitol points in the contest.
