With Prince George’s
captain out, Coquitlam’s took over.
Jackson Cressey scored
the first goal for Coquitlam, and the last, as he completed a hat-trick in a
6-3 win over the Spruce Kings. It was the third meeting between the two teams,
after they split a pair in Prince George with PG winning the first night 3-2,
then the Express exacting revenge the next night with a narrow 2-1
decision.
The first goal in the
first was a rebound, where Cressey was able to get a hold of the puck in front
of the net after a shot from Charlie Barrow. Three minutes later it was Noah
Turanski getting a point shot through a screen to earn his first goal of the
season.
In the second it was all
Prince George though. Liam McCloskey shut the door on all 10 shots, and the
power play that had been sputtering managed to get rolling. The man advantage
had been shutout in the past three games, and was definitely missing the big
shot of Jake LeBrun from the left faceoff point. Adam Brubacher would finally
break through, and drill a shot past Fenton to tie LeBrun in goals scored with
11 on the season. Then a few minutes later Bryan Basilico stole the puck on the
left boards, and managed to drag the puck to his backhand and just squeeze the
puck in past a sprawled Fenton tying the game at two.
Alex Stoley gave Prince
George their first lead 1:03 into the third period with his first goal of the
season. Corey Hoffman won the faceoff back to him, and he skated down the left
boards before cutting towards the net, and sending a shot in off the far post
and in.
Then mayhem struck as the
Express scored two goals in 19 seconds starting less than a minute after Prince
George scored to regain the lead at 4-3. The first was a beautiful play by the
speedy Erik Udahl as he sped up the left side of the ice, and then while
falling across the slot managed to get a shot past McCloskey for a beautiful
goal. Then it was the captain Cressey scoring his second of the night to
restore his team’s lead. Bertsch would score just before the halfway mark, to
double the lead. Corey Hoffman thought he had scored to get the game within one
goal a few minutes later, but the refs determined that the goal went off the
crossbar instead of the back bar and out.
Jackson Cressey completed his hat-trick
scoring shorthanded into an empty net for Coquitlam’s first goal while down a
man on the ice.
Crowning
Moment:
Prince George had the
lead early in the third, but couldn’t hold on as Coquitlam came back to score twice
quickly to regain the lead on home ice.
Prince George now sits 10
points back of Coquitlam for the 4th and final playoff spot in the
Mainland Division, while the Express also hold four games in hand. These two
teams will meet again next Thursday in Prince George for a rematch with
Coquitlam now leading the season series 2-1. Prince George managed shutdown the
11th ranked Coquitlam power play, stopping them on all six
opportunities.
