Jones and Butler netted one each in the opening two periods as both sides traded goals before Klugerman twice found the back of the net in the third term, sealing an 8-5 result.
Scores were level on multiple occasions. It was 2-all and 6-5 at the main breaks.
Hamish Powell and Daniel Berno also struck for the Northstars (15 points), who have now won four straight games and close the gap to five points between them and the conference-leading Lightning (20).
Saturday's fixture between the same sides was postponed after Brisbane's equipment failed to arrive.
