North Stars prepare for takeoff against Red Wings
The Battlefords North Stars are back in action tonight, their third straight this weekend, as they wrap up a six-game homestand against the Weyburn Red Wings at the Civic Centre.
The North Stars are 2-2-1 over their recent homestretch, looking for their second win of the weekend.
The Weyburn Red Wings are 3-3 to this point in November and enter action tonight hoping to snap their two-game losing skid, while also looking to avenge a tough 3-2 regulation loss earlier this month to the North Stars at home.
In addition to all kinds of incentive for a good showing tonight, the Wings’ also embody the tangible threat of boasting the league’s second-best power play, clicking at over 24 per cent. Weyburn’s is a man-advantage unit that will test the Stars’ top three ranked penalty kill, efficient nearly 86 per cent of the time.
