It’s a busy weekend for the Battlefords North Stars, who play back-to-back-to-back games over the weekend for the first time this season. The North Stars are aiming for their sixth win in seven games when they host the Estevan Bruins tonight.

In their last game, the North Stars won 2-1 in overtime against the Melville Millionaires. Finlay Klippenstein added to his team-leading goal total of 10 with the game-winning goal. Anthony Campbell also added a tally in that game.

The North Stars took on the Bruins earlier this season, winning both games they played in Estevan by scores of 7-5 and 8-4. North Stars forward Adam Konowalchuk shined in that series with four goals in the two games, including a hat trick on Oct. 25.

In that series, Bruins forward Ewan Rennie had four points in two games, scoring twice on Oct. 24.

Rennie leads the league in points with 42 (19g, 23a), while Bruins forward Rylan Williams is tied for second in the SJHL with 39 points (16g, 23a). It’s Williams’ first time playing back in North Battleford since being traded to the Bruins in the offseason.
