Klippers 6 - Stars 2

A difficult 'special-teams' weekend for the Battlefords North Stars came to an end Saturday with a 6-2 loss courtesy of the Kindersley Klippers. The Klippers tallied on five of their nine power-play opportunities en route to their third victory of the season.

Beau Taylor opened the scoring for Kindersley in the first. Pierce Gourley then followed with his first of the year to make it 2-0. Blake Tatchell notched his third of the year late in the first, and the teams skated to the locker room with the score 2-1 Kindersley.

Kindersley added two more goals in the second, both of them courtesy of the power-play. Jonothan Sonntag scored at 6:57, and Braedon Adamyk scored with only a second remaining in the period to give Kindersley a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes.

Three minutes into the third, Nathan Tomac scored his second of the season to give the Stars some life, but the Klippers countered with two late ones to seal the game at 6-2.

The Stars record falls to 0-4-1-1. They sit two points back of La Ronge in the Bauer Conference. The Stars are next in action Tuesday night at home against the Melfort Mustangs.

Panic setting in yet?
No comments from anyone?

No, not time to hit the panic button yet...but you can't keep making the same comments over and over again. On a positive note, Daley has been playing with a bit more grit. That's what I like to see.

Agreed, Daley had a great game last week its good to see him getting in there and using his size. Anybody hear anything about Miller? Rumor has it he got injured last game
