North Stars hope for payoff in showdown with Millionaires
Less than 24 hours after defeating the Yorkton Terriers 5-2 in Yorkton, the Battlefords North Stars will continue the back-half of their weekend road trip. Awaiting the Stars is a hungry Melville Millionaires club at Horizon Credit Union Centre in Melville.
The North Stars are 21-10-8 through 39 games heading into action Saturday and sit second in the Global Ag. Risk Solutions Division with 50 points, just three back of the division lead.
The Melville Millionaires, meanwhile, are 13-21-6 through 40 games, good for 32 points. Sitting third in the Viterra Division, Melville will be looking to try and snap a four-game losing skid tonight, coming off a tough 2-1 regulation loss to the Weyburn Red Wings Friday.
A large reason for the Millionaires’ struggles as of late has been their lack of offensive contribution throughout the lineup.
