Exhibition Game #3 - Second Period

Nice tilt to start the second between Joe Morgan and Erik Wentzel. Joe gave up a lot on height and reach, but have to say the boy from Kitimat won this one as he kept coming on. Once Joe got his arm free, he let loose with two rights that knocked the big guy down.

Williams Lake has decided to try a physical game plan to try and tie the score. Jake Harcoff has just hard to the net late after the whistle taking out Hernandez awkwardly. Only one penalty that to Williams Lake. Prince George is answering back with a physical prescence of their own. Big hit on a Williams Lake player has rattled his teeth and knocked the mouth guard out.

Another powerplay for PG but limited shots on goal despite good puck possession with the extra attacker. Tail end of that power play and Landon Andrusiak finds the puck on his stick. Streaking in on the Spruce Kings goaltender, it is Hernandez that comes up with the big play on the poke check. Sam Muchalla has just drawn a hooking penalty on the same play.

A whistle at 10:17 brings Tim Zweirs in to play goal for Prince George in front of his hometown. Luke Hernandez stops all 13 shots he faced during his 30:17 tour of duty.

Prince George will have to be careful as Williams Lake is coming on and carrying a lot of the play. No sooner say that than the Spruce Kings turn the momentum with two good shifts starting with Nick DeSousa getting a partial breakaway followed up by Sam Muchalla putting on a stick handling clinic in the offensive zone.

Some nice shifts and chances that didn't quite materialize for both teams. Second period ends the same as the first with the Spruce Kings leading 1-0 on the Nick DeSousa goal scored late in the opening period. Prince George had to come from behind on the shot clock, but have evened up that stat at 17 apiece. Tim Zweirs faced four during his half of the second including two coming off breakaway chances for the Williams Lake Timberwolves. Hard to say who has momentum heading into the third with the teams trading chances right down to the period ending buzzer.
