The Prince George Spruce Kings had themselves a back and forth game with the hosting Cowichan Valley Capitals, ultimately coming out with a 2-1 victory in front of 1431 fans.
It was a fairly quiet first period outside of four minute power play for Prince George that would be wiped by a penalty of their own, but the game’s first star Max Mahoney would find the back of the net with three seconds left, giving the Spruce Kings the lead to start the second period.
Cowichan Valley would take three penalties within the first 2:47 of the second, but would still nab a goal of their own from Kole Keen at 5:59, with P.G. unable to light the lamp.
Spruce King’s Adam Crosby would get the game winner 8:08 into the third period.
