North Stars bounce back with 5-3 victory in Humboldt
Coming off a 5-3 loss to the rival Humboldt Broncos to open the weekend Friday, the Battlefords North Stars flipped the script with a 5-3 win of their own in the rematch, Saturday at the Elgar Petersen Arena.
The win splits the weekend series, and gives the Stars their second victory against the Broncos in the six games of the season series, responding in a big way to snap a four-game skid against their divisional foes.
Steven Kesslering led the way for the Stars with his second-straight two-goal game. The veteran winger tallied his first of the night on a shorthanded dart for his 34th of the campaign, also adding the game-winner in the third to put the team in front for good, in a three-point night.
