AAA Stars put up valiant effort but fall 2-0 to Mintos
Ahead of Wednesday’s tilt between the Battlefords AAA Stars and Prince Albert Mintos at the Civic Centre, there were a few indications the score wouldn’t be close.
The Mintos had outscored the Stars 12-5 in their previous two wins over the Stars and outshot them by a combined 69-42 in those wins.
But the past is the past, and on Wednesday, the Stars gave the Mintos all they could handle, matching them chance for chance.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough, as two late third period goals catapulted the Mintos to another win over Battlefords, this time by a 2-0 score.
