North Stars top Bombers 4-3 in barn burner shootout
Resilient is the best word to describe the North Stars’ 4-3 shootout win over the Flin Flon Bombers on Friday night.
It was a strong first period for the Stars, with a power play snipe from Levi Kleiboer and a rebound goal from Owen Lamb to put them up 2-0.
A late second period goal from Bomber forward Brandon Lesko left goaltender Taryn Kotchorek in pain momentarily, but the North Star netminder fought on, only to have the Bombers tie the game 37 seconds later.
Coming back from the tie is when the North Stars’ first sign of resiliency surfaced.
