In the third period, it seemed like the North Stars had the momentum but it was the Red Wings who took back the lead, scoring an early goal to make it 4-3.

Then throughout the rest of the period, the North Stars had lots of chances but still couldn’t find the back of the net.

But then with just under a minute left in the period, the North Stars pulled their goalie for an extra attacker and it was Anthony Campbell who lit the lamp to tie the game 4-4 and force overtime.

In overtime, the North Stars started off with a man advantage due to a Weyburn penalty, but still after five minutes neither team could score so the game called for a shootout.

Unfortunately, in the shootout all three Battlefords shooters couldn’t strike the nylon and it was Weyburn’s Ethan Dekay who found the back of the net to win the game 5-4.

The North Stars outshot Weyburn 45 to 40, went 0/5 on the powerplay and stopped Weyburn 5/6 times on the penalty kill.

The North Stars record now sits at 13-7-3-2 with 31 points for second overall in the league.

They will have a chance at redemption as they play against Weyburn again tonight at the Access Communications Centre with puck drop at 7:30 p.m.
