The Battlefords North Stars capped off a highly successful two games at the Showcase in Warman with a 10-3 bombing of the Flin Flon Bombers Tuesday.
The game was close in the first period with the Bombers actually ahead 3-2 through one period. But the North Stars responded with eight unanswered goals to sweep both of their Showcase games. The club also moves to a perfect 5-0 on the young SJHL season, tied with Nipawin at the top of the league.
The North Stars got their first goal from Dylan Esau, his third of the season, from Matthias Urbanski at 6:02 of the first period.
Alec Malo tied it, but Seth Summers restored the lead at 9:06 with Dace Prymak assisting.
The Bombers’ Donovan Houle-Villeneuve put on a show in the period, scoring his seventh and eighth goals of the season including one on the power play.
The score remained 3-2 until midway through the second period when Quintin Loon-Stewardson scored his fourth of the season from Urbanski at 10:52. Urbanski then gave the North Stars the lead at the 12:38 mark with Quintin and Elijah Loon-Stewardson both assisting.
Quintin added a second goal on the power play at the 14:43 mark and it was 5-3 North Stars through two.
The North Stars then exploded for five goals in the third period from Kaden Boser (Brett Gammer assisting), Austin Becker’s sixth of the season (from Rylan Nivon), Dace Prymak, Urbanski again, and finally Noah Form with one second left in the game to complete a ten-goal game for the North Stars.
Adam Dmyterko got the win for the North Stars, who outshot the Bombers 36-31 in the game.
The North Stars now move on from the Showcase to continue their lengthy road trip in La Ronge on Friday night.
