A week after losing to the Weyburn Red Wings at home 1-0, the Battlefords North Stars rebounded to post a 5-3 win in their return match in Weyburn Saturday night.
The scoring opened in the first period when Layne Young got his 13th of the season from MacGregor Sinclair and Dakota Huebner at 14:41.
Weyburn tied it in the second period as Jordan Kazymyra got his tenth of the season Garrett Szeremley and Cade Kowalski at 8:28.
But the North Stars regained the lead on Matthias Urbanski’s seventh of the season from Cody Spagrud and Conor Jensen at 12:43.
Huebner then gave the North Stars a three-goal lead from Young and Levi Kleiboer at 15:17 on the power play, with Kowalski in the box for tripping.
The third period saw Urbanski get his second of the game from Spagrud and Chaseton Braid at 1:35 on the power play.
Sinclair’s 11th made it 5-1 at the 9:53 mark. Goals from Tyran Brown on the power play and an even-strength goal by Jessie Young with 2:13 to go wrapped up the scoring as the North Stars prevailed 5-3.
Shots favored Weyburn 37-36 but Kolby Matthews came up big in the Battlefords net with a 34-save performance.
The win gave the North Stars their second straight win on their southeastern road trip. They will wrap up their road trip Sunday in Yorkton against the Terriers, with that game starting at 4:30 pm.
