Chilliwack mounted their rally with four minutes remaining in the third courtesy of Trevor Longo who drove to the Spruce Kings crease and tucked the puck under the pad of Aaron Trotter.
Tanner Andrew evened the score on a late power-play after several Spruce Kings converged to one side of the ice, leaving the forward alone in front of the net.
The Chiefs outshot PG 30-24 and went 1-for-5 on the power-play.
With the win, Chilliwack (7-3-0-0) now moves three points ahead of the Spruce Kings (5-3-0-1) for top spot inside the three-team pod, which includes the Merritt Centennials.
PG is back on the ice against the Cents (2-7-0-0) tonight (Monday) at 5pm from the Coliseum.
