First period comes to an end with neither team finding the back of the net. Shots on goal favour the Williams Lake Timberwolves 10-6 and at one point were 4-1 despite the Spruce Kings looking like they had better chances. Evan Smith has been sharp in goal to start the game for Prince George. Early in the first Smith was bowled over and the play jarred his mask loose.
On the powerplay the Spruce Kings did hit a post early in that opening period off a good shot by Nick DeSousa. The home team has had the benefit of three powerplays, but hasn't been able to get very many quality shots on goal thanks to a good looking penalty kill. The Williams Lake Timberwolves have had a pair of odd man advantages and have been able to get a few good shots through on Smith.
The period ended with Sam Muchalla showing his feisty side, perhaps a little out of frustration and perhaps a little to spark the Spruce Kings heading into the second period. Both teams are playing their final preseason games tonight with the Timberwolves looking to come from behind to finishing with a .500 record while the Spruce Kings can finish off their four game exhibition schedule with a three game winning streak.

please let us know how Pickering is doing THANKS
Pickering will be listed as day-to-day after suffering an injury in the first period.
When the coach was asked ... it is too early, but appears to be a muscle strain in the back and the early prognosis is that he will be back in time for the start of the regular season.
I can not update beyond that as I don't want to speculate, but can tell you that he is at his place.
i saw picks walking around in the second intermission with joe becker. andrew was smiling and laughing didn't look to be in bad shape. i believe it was a precautionary move by the coaching staff to avoid aggrivating any tightness or soreness he was having. expect to see him opening night from what i saw.
