Teams are back on the ice for the start of the third with the Spruce Kings still on the power play for 14 seconds. Nothing with the extra man and things seem to have settled down some with both teams getting chances. The best had to be Trevor Hertz on a breakaway tring to beat Evan Smith low along the ice on the glove side. Smith played it perfectly to stop the Quesnel Millionaires franchise player.With twelve and a half minutes to go in the third period, Jesse Scrimbit (incorrectly identified as Sam Muchalla on original posting) has just rung a howitzer off the goal post that nearly bounced in off the goaltender. A quick stick by the Mills D-man prevented the loose puck from crossing the goal line. Sam Muchalla is really turning it on and just came up with a defensive stick check on the back check that was shaping up to be a two on one. He then dangled through the nuetral zone and into the offensive end to create a glorious scoring chance.
Mills appear to be a little on their heels with consecutive icing calls against as a result of the pressure being applied right now by the Spruce Kings. Eight minutes to go and another faceoff in the Millionaires end.
Make that four fights ... this one clearly won by the PG player, Jeremy Wiebe. Shortly after this tilt and maybe the Mills do have some life and appear to be on the verge of a bounce or two. A dump in shot takes a bad bounce off the glass but the quick foot of Evan Smith kept the puck out and preserves the two goal lead with 5 minutes remaining.
Game is over and PG celebrates their first win of the preseason with a 4-2 final. PG also outscored the Mills 27-20.
