North Stars crush Red Wings 5-0 on final game of road trip
It’s safe to say the Battlefords North Stars were firing on all cylinders during their Family Day matinee against the Weyburn Red Wings, shutting out the home team 5-0 while firing 43 shots on goal and going 7-for-7 on the penalty kill.
The win means the North Stars are still the only team that has yet to lose three straight games this season, after snapping out of their two-game slide.
“[I’m] proud of the guys with the way they responded,” North Stars Head Coach Brandon Heck said in a post-game interview on CJNB/CJNS. “They took that desperate mode that we played [with] at the end of the game against Notre Dame and carried it on forward.”
The power play got things started with a MacGregor Sinclair one-timer goal, his 30th tally of the season, then continued with a Cole Johnson short-side snipe to make it 2-0. Owen Lamb, Brad Girard and Layne Young would each add even-strength goals.
