North Stars wrap road swing with second crack at Wings
The Battlefords North Stars return to action Saturday night, to wrap their three-game road swing back where it all began two nights ago, in Weyburn.
The North Stars (7-6-0-1) enter play second in the Nutrien Division and fifth overall in the league standings, just two points back of Weyburn for fourth overall, though the Red Wings do hold an extra game in hand.
Following up a tough 10-5 loss in Weyburn Thursday with a 5-2 win in Estevan a night ago, Saturday’s contest will determine the success of the Battlefords’ road trip based on the outcome.
The Red Wings (7-3-0-3) sit first in the Viterra Division and fourth overall, heading into their first game since Thursday night’s victory over the North Stars, having won three straight overall heading into play.
