North Stars ‘Klip’ Kindersley in rivalry showdown
The Battlefords North Stars defeated the archrival Kindersley Klippers Saturday night by a score of 4-2.
Special teams play proved to be a huge factor in Saturday night’s contest.
Blake Kleiner opened the scoring for the Klippers just over five minutes into the first on a Klippers’ 5-on-3 advantage, firing a shot through traffic in front to notch his first goal of the campaign. Ty Ennis and Caden Bensen picked up the assists on the scoring play.
The score would remain 1-0 for the visitors for much of the first, until inside the final five minutes of the frame, when Regan Doig answered back for the Stars on a power play opportunity of their own, giving fans in attendance a reason to stand up and applaud after firing a shot off the post and in on a power play goal, putting his team at even footing once again. Braydon Buziak and Cody Spagrud picked up the helpers on Doig’s fifth of the season.
