Braid’s late goal gets North Stars past stingy Red Wings
The Weyburn Red Wings like to block a lot of shots, and that was once again evident at the Civic Centre on Thursday night, as they took on the Battlefords North Stars for just the third time this season.
Though deadlocked 1-1 for most of the game, the North Stars stuck with it, and got a late goal from Chaseton Braid to sneak away with a 2-1 regulation win. It was Braid’s second goal of the contest, bringing his season total to 14.
North Stars head coach Brandon Heck said he was most pleased with limiting Weyburn to just 19 shots, as his club outshot the visitors 34-19.
“Solid effort from all 20 guys tonight. We bought in,” Heck said. “Any time you give up 19 shots, you’ve got to be pleased with how you played.”
