Spruce Kings keep it close, still lose to Wenatchee

For the second consecutive night the Prince George Spruce Kings fell behind by a 3-0 score to the Wenatchee Wild on the road dropping a 5-3 decision Saturday.

Matthew Baker, Dakota Raabe, and Brendan Harris all potted goals in the opening period to give the Wild a sizeable advantage after 20 minutes.

Tanner Campbell finally broke the ice for Prince George in the second period with an unassisted goal to cut the deficit to 3-1.

Wenatchee would find themselves up by a trio of markers for the second time in the game after Baker slid his second of the contest past Prince George goaltender Tavin Grant.
