North Stars take commanding 3-0 series lead over Bruins
The Battlefords North Stars almost had their 3-0 lead slip away in game three of their semifinal series against the Estevan Bruins, but got a key third period power play goal and added an empty netter to come away with a 5-2 win on the road.
With the win, the North Stars now lead the best-of-7 semifinal series 3-0.
“It was a strange game for sure,” North Stars head coach Nate Bedford said following the win. “I thought we played good at times but other times it felt like we were fighting the puck a bit.
“All I know is that at the end of the playoffs, whether we win or lose, no one is going to question our character and toughness. That’s what I take away from tonight.”
