Prince George, B.C. – The Prince George Spruce Kings are now 2 and 1 in this young BC Hockey League season.
The Spruce Kings looked well on their way to a third straight victory as they hosted the Trail Smoke Eaters at the Coliseum. The home team held a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period on goals from Bryant Christian at 15:25 and Cam Lawson at the 19:59 mark. Trail got one back early in the second, with captain Garrett McMullen scoring at 6:44. Then the Kings went up 3-1 as Justin Rai scored at 7:49. That’s the way the period ended.
Then came the Trail comeback. Tanner Clarkson scored at 2:35 and Shane Poulsen got an unassisted marker at 12:03 to even it up, and the game went to overtime with the teams knotted at 3.
The winner came at the 3:56 mark of overtime, as McMullen potted his second of the contest, beating Liam McLeod in the Spruce Kings net.
Prince George took three minor penalties in the contest while Trail was assessed 8 minors.
The Spruce Kings try to get back on the winning side of things as they host the Penticton Vees Saturday night, 7pm, at the Coliseum.
