The Thunder Bay North Stars can still move up in the standings, but they’ll likely have to do it on the road.
The Stars on Friday lost their penultimate home-game of 2010-11, being worked over 5-2 by the expansion Wisconsin Wilderness at Fort William Gardens.
James Kline scored twice and Wilson Housley had a goal and a helper for the Wilderness, who also got goals from Nathan Paulsen and Dalton Betzen.
Thunder Bay goal scorers were Spencer Hogan and Rylan Henley, both who waited until the third period to solve Wildenrss goalie John McLean.
