Parkinson phenomenal as Mustangs defeat North Stars
It wasn’t pretty, but the Melfort Mustangs won their fourth game in a row on Tuesday night in North Battleford.
The Mustangs scraped out a win against the North Stars by a score of 4-1. Melfort only managed two shots on goal in the first period, but were up 1-0 after a powerplay goal from Justin Ball. That was followed up by a second period where only six shots were recorded by Melfort, but two goals were scored. Ball and Braeden Young would tally those ones. Battlefords would also score in the frame to make it 3-1 after two periods.
Melfort was able to lock it down in the third period, scoring once more, courtesy of Zack Smith. Mustangs Assistant Coach Dan Meyers said after the game that it without Shawn Parkinson in net, it could’ve been a whole different game.
“It was ugly,” Meyers said. “Without Parkinson in there standing tall, it was the real reason we won.”
