The Battlefords North Stars line of Layne Young, MacGregor Sinclair and Elijah Loon-Stewardson combined for an incredible 6-goals and 18-points as the Stars beat the visiting La Ronge Ice Wolves 10-2 on Tuesday night.

Sinclair and Young racked up seven points each, as Sinclair had four goals and three assists, while Young picked up seven helpers.  Loon-Stewardson added two goals and two assists.

Sinclair now has points in seven straight games, with 19 points (11g-8a) during the stretch.  He now has an even 20-goals and 20-assists for 40 points through just 23 games on the year.  For Young, it’s a six game streak, with 18 points (3g-15a).  Young now leads the league with 49 points (15g-34a) in 23 games.

Chaseton Braid also scored twice, while Blake Fennig and Owen Lamb added the others for the Stars (19-3-1-0).  Joel Gryzbowski made 21/23 saves.

Mitch Zambon scored both goals for the Ice Wolves (5-18-0-2).

Marshall Wilton had points on all four of his team’s goals, scoring one and setting up the other three as the Notre Dame Hounds got by the Melville Millionaires 4-1.
