Chilliwack Chiefs stage comeback to beat Powell River

POWELL RIVER — The Chilliwack Chiefs exploded with four unanswered goals in the third period to come from behind and defeat the hometown Powell River Kings 5 – 3 Friday (Nov. 24).

The Chiefs trailed the game 3 – 1 after two periods. But Brady Milburn got the comeback started, scoring his sixth goal of the season just 69 seconds into the final period. Matt Argentina tied the game at 12:46 and three minutes later he put the Chiefs ahead with his fourth of the year.
