It went to extra frames,
but it didn’t last long with the Bulldogs scoring just 12 seconds into OT.
There was a lot of play
leading up to that though, and Liam McCLoskey was a big factor for the Spruce
Kings making it as far as they did. In the first Alberni came out like bats out
of hell and fired 18 shots on the young netminder. In front of their home
crowd, the Bulldogs managed just one goal in the first period, and that was off
the stick of their captian Eric Margo.
In the second the Spruce
Kings got their wheels moving, and managed to take their first lead of the
game. First it was Jake LeBrun with a goal nearly identical to last night where
on the power play Stief slide a pass over to him, and from the top of the
circle he blasted it in. Just over a minute later it was a nice play by Braiden
Epp letting the puck slide past him to Kyle Johnson while in front of the net.
Johnson returned the favour, passing the puck back to Epp who had the entire
net to shoot at with Claeys out of position, and take the 2-1 lead.
Not to be undone in front
of their home crowd, the Bulldogs battled back on their second powerplay of the
game. Just like LeBrun’s, it was Paul Meyer the eventual first star of the game
who received a pass at the blueline, and found a hole with his slapshot.
The Spruce Kings didn’t
come out the way they wanted in the third, and Alberni scored just 49 seconds
in courtesy of Quinn Syrydiuk. That got the home crowd going, and left Prince
George with some catching up to do.
That moment would come
when Kyle Johnson created a turnover at centre, and skated in before passing to
Basilico who was all alone in front of the net. The power forward cut to the
side, and was able to wrap a backhand shot past Claeys to tie the game at
three.
Both goalies would hold
the door for the final nine minutes, and the game would head to extra innings.
Prince George was 0-1 heading in, after an OT loss to Victoria in the showcase
back in September.
A mere 12 seconds in, and
Josh Adkins was sprung in alone by Scott Clark. Letting a team’s leading scorer
have a breakaway in overtime isn’t the best idea, and Adkins showed why putting
a shot past McCloskey for his 18th point of the season. For Brody
Clayeys in net, it was his first BCHL victory.
The Spruce Kings will be
back in action this afternoon when they take on the Victoria Grizzlies at 2pm.
