North Stars ‘average’ in 4-2 win over last-place Ice Wolves
Fresh off blowing a third period lead in Saturday’s loss to the Melville Millionaires, the Battlefords North Stars played only marginally better in their 4-2 win over the last-place La Ronge Ice Wolves on Tuesday night at the Civic Centre.
Although they grabbed their 35th win of the season, the North Stars are just 7-4 in their last 11 games, after going 28-5-2 to start the season.
North Stars head coach Brandon Heck called his team’s effort ‘just average’ after Tuesday’s win.
“I thought we turned the puck over a lot. We got better as the game went on,” Heck said. “But a lot of mistakes that we weren’t making before are creeping into our game.
