The win improved the Brave's record to 5-2 (including one overtime victory) to mark a stunning start to its inaugural season in the competition.
The Brave rode the momentum from last weekend's back-to-back victories over Perth Thunder to make a blistering start, firing home three goals in the opening period and then withstood a fightback from the North Stars to silence the Newcastle fans.
The second period was a stalemate as neither side could find the net and then the North Stars showed their desperation with two quick goals in the third period to bring the deficit back to 3-2.
However, the Brave scored two more to put the result beyond doubt.
The Brave is back in action next Saturday night when it hosts the top-of-the-table Melbourne Ice at the Phillip Swimming and Ice Skating Centre.
