After no scoring in the second, the Battlefords added an insurance marker in the third, courtesy of Brett Gammer’s fourth of the playoffs and second in two nights.

Coming off a gorgeous tick-tack-toe play started by Braydon Buziak who, from the right-side half wall, moved the puck into the middle of the slot to Owen Lamb, who rocketed a feed on further to Gammer for the no-hesitation one-timer to make it 2-0 Stars on the power play.

Almost exactly six minutes later, the Stars added one more, with Ryan Gil converting a gorgeous cross-ice feed from Lamb to put his team ahead 3-0.

Stars’ goalie Joel Grzybowski stopped all 31 shots he faced on the night for his third-straight shutout and fourth of the playoffs.

Grzybowski spearheaded a Stars’ defensive system that held Yorkton, the highest-scoring team over the regular season to just two goals total through the four-game semifinal series.

The North Stars will now get some time to rest up and heal, before returning to action in Game 1 of the Canalta Cup Finals April 12.

In other SJHL action, the Bruins beat the Melfort Mustangs 4-2 at Affinity Place in Estevan to tie the teams’ semifinal series 2-2.
