North Stars season ends with double OT loss
The Battlefords North Stars looked to send their series back to Flin Flon for a sixth game, but the Bombers had none of it. Rylee Zimmer fired a shot through the pads of Tyler Fuhr 7:30 into double overtime to eliminate the North Stars.
The North Stars were hoping to bounce back from Game 4 in which they trailed 3-0 after the first, and that’s exactly what they did in the opening frame.
Defenceman Ryan Rosenberg spotted right-winger Logan Nachtegaele behind the defence from his own blue line and fed him the pass. Nachtegaele came in on a breakaway and beat Zac Robidoux on the backhand to open the scoring 3:25 into the game.
Rosenberg then decided to join in on the goal scoring himself, as he took a drop pass from Rory Davidson at the left point. Rosenberg skated all the way from the left point to the front of the net before pulling the puck to his backhand and sliding it past Robidoux to make it 2-0.
