Dominic Szczygiel picked a great time to end a 10-game scoring slump.
The 18-year-old forward from New Jersey scored the game-winning goal at 5:12 of the third period as the Prince George Spruce Kings doubled up the Victoria Grizzlies 4-2 in front of 1,319 fans at the Q Centre.
Cariboo Cougar alum Mason Loewen added the insurance marker notching his 11th of the season into an empty net.
Loewen also assisted on the Spruce Kings first goal feeding Trent LeDrew who sniped home a shot past Grizzlies goalie Mikus Vecvanags 12 seconds in.
Michael Dowdall evened the score at 1-1, scoring his seventh of the campaign past PG netminder Ryder Green.
The Spruce Kings re-claimed the lead prior to the first intermission courtesy of Tai Ushio on the power-play from Ozbej Rep and Marcus Lougheed.
In the second, Victoria evened the score again courtesy of Parker MacDougall on the man-advantage.
Prince George outshot the Grizzlies 43-23 and went 1-for-6 on the power-play while Victoria was 1-for-4.
Vecvanags made 39 saves in defeat for Victoria.
Green on the other hand, continues his resurgence in the Spruce Kings crease improving to 13-4-0 with a 2.60 goals against average and a .909 save percentage.
The Spruce Kings (24-13-2-0) leapfrogged the Coquitlam Express (23-13-1-1) for first place in the Coastal East Division, by two points.
Coquitlam fell 6-3 on Saturday to the Chilliwack Chiefs on Saturday night.
Both teams clash in Burns Lake next weekend at the BCHL Showcase Saturday (7pm) and Sunday (1pm) at the Tom Forsyth Arena.
