North Stars’ second period push enough to down Mustangs
Make it three times now over the past nine days that the North Stars defeated the Melfort Mustangs.
Tuesday’s 3-1 victory at the Civic Centre follows Saturday’s 4-0 thumping, which in turn was just six days after last Saturday’s 4-0 shutout win.
Of the three, Tuesday’s was certainly the closest, but it really wasn’t that close, as the shots favoured Battlefords 45-27.
The previous two wins dominated 4-0 shutouts, and this one looked to be headed that way after the North Stars scored a flurry of early second period goals to lead 3-0.
