Stars / Mustangs Preview

Melfort Mustangs (1-6)

Who's Hot:

Devon Stillar and Gary Childerhose are the two main cogs of the Melfort Mustangs. These two have combined for 15 points in six games.

Who's on D:

The 'Stangs' top D-man is a returnee from last year. Harrison Tribble has five points so far this year.

Who's in Goal:

Jordan Washburn played last night in Humboldt, so by default I'm suggesting that Charlie Pogue plays tonight.


X-Factor:

Blake Hietela has always been a thorn in the Star's side. He's off to a slow start this year with just four points in seven games.


Battlefords North Stars:

Who's Hot:

Josh Daley and Blake Peake. Both had big nights last night, and the chemistry with these two seems to be improving each night.

Who's on D:

Cody Folstad is on fire! I don't think too many Stars fans would have expected that he'd be the one to have seven points in seven games.

Who's in Goal:

Graham Hilldebrand started last night and was pulled halfway through, so my intuition tells me that we see Kyle Birch again. He's 4-1 on the year.

X-Factor:

The penalty killers. The Stars have STUNK on the PK through seven games and Melfort definitely has weapons that can hurt a team. If the Stars don't start killing penalties, it could be a tough night.
