The Centennials took a 1-0 lead into the second period, before Linden Makow tied the game 3:04 into the middle frame.
To the delight of the 669 fans at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena, Dylan Lariviere put the Centennials ahead by one to start a three goal flurry in the period.
Alexis Cournoyer and Owen Goodbrand scored for the Spruce Kings, but the comeback fell short.
