Spruce Kings almost perfect on Island road trip

While it may have ended on a sour note, the Prince George Spruce Kings continue to enjoy life on the road.

The most northern franchise in the BCHL picked up five out of a possible six points on Vancouver Island this weekend over the course of three games.

On Friday, the Spruce Kings skated to an easy 3-0 shutout victory over the Powell River Kings in front of 1,139 fans from the Hap Parker Arena.

Ben Brar led the way with a three-point effort (2G, 1A) while Patrick Cozzi and Dustin Manz had two assists each.

Neaton collected his second win on the trip by stopping 25 opposing pucks.

The hectic road swing came to a close on Sunday in Nanaimo, where the Clippers edged to a 3-2 overtime victory.

Ben Poisson and Tyler Schleppe added the offense in defeat for Prince George.

The Spruce Kings outshot Nanaimo 34-26 who remain two points back of Chilliwack for the Mainland Division lead.
