Season Series: Spruce Kings lost 5-2 at home to the Capitals
Game Overview:
After a win to start the month of December, it has been a downhill
spiral for the Spruce Kings. They’re now on a four game losing streak being
outscored 27-7 in those four meetings. The last setback was a 9-2 loss to the
Nanaimo Clippers. Prince George looked solid in the first period, but had three
goals against on seven shots, and then in the third they allowed five goals.
Cowichan Valley is second in the Island Division only behind the Clippers, and
while they may not have the fire power that Prince George has faced in the last
few games against Chilliwack and Nanaimo, but they are still a force to be
reckoned with. The Capitals are coming off a 6-1 win over Alberni Valley last
night.
Prince George Away Record: 3-14-0-2
Spruce Kings Leading Scorer: Adam Brubacher: 12 goals – 17 assists – 29 points
Cowichan Valley Home Record: 10-3-1-1
Capitals Leading Scorer: Kade Kehoe: 12 goals – 24 assists – 36 points
Player to watch:
Spruce Kings: Last night the line of Jordan Funk and the two
Richmond Sockeyes callups (Arjun Badh and Noah Wozney) was possibly the most
effective of any line. In their first shift they drew a penalty, and created a
few chances throughout the game. With a game now under their belts, look for
the Sockeyes+Funk to maybe break onto the scoresheet, and generate some energy
on the Spruce Kings bench.
Capitals: Tied for the team lead in shorthanded goals, Patrick
Geary is a player Prince George will need to lookout for. The Spruce Kings
have allowed a league high 11 shorthanded goals, and have been shutout in the
last four games on the power play. Last night Geary had a goal and an assist vs
Alberni Valley.
