North Stars fail to sweep triple header, fall 5-2 to the Weyburn Red Wings

Dec 7, 2025 | 7:49 PM

In the second game of a weekend series, the Weyburn Red Wings (17-7-1-1, 1st in Bunge Division) took the 5-2 win over the Battlefords North Stars (14-7-2-2, 2nd in Nutrien Division).

The Red Wings came out quick in the first period, getting a power play goal early from Luke Dekay who was able to put it in from below the goal line off North Stars goaltender Steele Bass. The Red Wings overall outplayed the North Stars in the first frame and went into the second period up 1-0.

Less than five minutes into the second period at four-on-four, Kaleb Dewar walked into the zone on the left side and sniped one blocker side on Red Wings goalie Nate Stevens to tie the game up at one.

A few minutes later, Dewar doubled down on the power play going five hole on Stevens to make it a 2-1 North Stars lead.

Just over halfway through the period, Red Wings forward Will Munro took a pass from Drew Molde and scored top shelf to tie the game at two.

In the third period, Dekay got in behind Bass and tapped the puck into the net after a shot trickled past the North Stars goaltender to make it a 3-2 Red Wings game. With about three-and-a-half minutes to go, the North Stars pulled the goalie in an effort to tie it. However, Callas Pierce scored two empty netters to seal the 5-2 win for the Red Wings.

In the loss, the North Stars failed to sweep the weekend series and get their fourth straight win. However, it was still a positive weekend for the North Stars who got wins over the Bruins and Red Wings, and they have gotten seven wins in their last nine games.

The North Stars will have a tough test on Dec. 12-13 when they welcome the Flin Flon Bombers to town. The Bombers are one of the last two teams the North Stars have yet to play. They currently sit in first place in the league with a record of 18-8-0-1 and will pose a tough challenge for the North Stars who will look to get back in the win column.

The Ultra Print pregame show will begin at 7:00 pm Saskatchewan time on Dec. 12, Napa Auto Parts North Stars hockey will begin at 7:30 when the North Stars take on the Bombers.
