Despite outshooting Spruce Kings 45-25, Chiefs come up short in PG as series heads back to Chilliwack
PRINCE GEORGE — The Chilliwack Chiefs outshot the Prince George Spruce Kings by a 45-25 margin, but came up short Wednesday night in a 5-2 loss at Kopar Memorial Arena.
The two teams were separated by 27 points in the regular season standings, but none of that matters now that the Spruce Kings and Chiefs are all tied up in their first round BCHL playoff series.
The power play scored twice and the Prince George Spruce Kings stayed with it after the game got tied in the second. Brock Cummings got the first power-play goal of the series for Prince George as his deflection of a Trent LeDrew point shot for his fourth of the playoffs, in a period where the Spruce Kings were out-shot 13-3 in the frame.
Linden Makow made it 2-0 just 6:39 into the second period as he deflected a Ludvig Basth point shot past Quentin Miller as LeDrew picked up his second assist.
