North Stars End More Road Jinxes
BLOOMINGTON — Maybe they should call it the Minnesota Travelling Road Show and Red Cross Special. Yes, the injuries kept coming, but the North Stars shook off the traditional rap of strong-home, weak-road by winning a pair of games in the second week of the schedule in buildings which have been a nemesis to Minnesota.

Coach Scotty Bowman kept seven defensemen and 1.3 forwards on his varsity squad this year, along with goaltenders Don Edwards and Bob Sauve. So far, with three centers hurt, Scotty has used four of his defensemen as forwards.
