North Stars give up third period lead in loss to Klippers
It was a rare ugly loss for the Battlefords North Stars on Tuesday night against the Kindersley Klippers, as they gave up a 2-0 lead in the third period and ultimately lost 4-2.
The Klippers scored three goals in under a minute halfway through the third period to turn the tide, before holding on with an empty net goal.
The loss was just the seventh regulation loss in the North Stars’ season, but it also drops their record at the West Central Events Centre against Kindersley this season to 2-2.
“Our power play, terrible,” North Stars head coach Brandon Heck said after the game, referring to a power play that went 0-for-7 and even had a minute and a half of 5-on-3 time in the third period and could not get the equalizer.
