North Stars aim to disarm Bomber’s offence
The Battlefords North Stars are back in action tonight, hoping to return to the winning track as they open a jam-packed weekend that will see the team play three games in three nights at the NB Civic Centre, starting with back-to-back bouts with the Flin Flon Bombers.
Friday will mark the first matchup of the season between the Stars and Bombers, but the reputation of the deep burgundy and white far suggests it will likely not take long for the two sides to get acquainted.
Flin Flon enters play boasting the most prolific offense in the league, having amassed a staggering 99 goals through only their first 21 games.
Lead by two of the league’s top four scorers, the Bombers are a team that is as deep as any when it comes to depth of scoring as well, with already six players on the team having put up 20 or more points.
