PORT ALBERNI — Emanuelson Charbonneau scored with less than two minutes remaining in regulation time to give the hometown Alberni Valley Bulldogs a 2 -1 victory over the Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday (Apr. 29). The win gives the Bulldogs a 2 – 0 lead in the best of seven Coastal Division Final.
Brady Milburn opened the scoring in the game when the Chiefs winger notched his fourth of the postseason at 6:31 of the second period. But the Bulldogs evened the score less than three minutes later on Zeke Nicholson’s goal.
Chiefs netminder Lucas Szyszka was sharp, stopping 29 of 31 shots. Alberni Valley’s Campbell Arnold allowed just one of the 25 Chilliwack shots behind him.
The Bulldogs won the series-opening game 9 – 5 Friday night on home ice. Now the series shifts to Chilliwack for games Tuesday and Wednesday. Tickets are available online by clicking here.
