In
the third game in as many nights, the Spruce Kings got off to a slow start, and
couldn’t recover.
Returning
from injury, Luca Leona contributed in a big way, as just 1:01 into the first
period he was able to get a shot off that clipped McCloskey, and beat him for
the 1-0 lead.
Neither
team would muster up much offence for the rest of the period, combining for
just 10 shots overall.
In
the second it was Coquitlam doubling their lead as Blake Hayward rushed down
the left wing, and sent a perfect saucer pass across to Austin McIlmurray
racing on the right side, and was just able to get his stick out in time to put
a shot past McCloskey.
Then
to finish the period off, Owen Stout was able to score with just 57.6 seconds
remaining to give Coquitlam a 3-0 lead heading to the final period.
Entering
the game, Prince George had yet to win a game when trailing after two periods,
with just one overtime loss to show in 32 occasions.
Playing
just five minutes from his hometown, Kyle Johnson would eventually reply to get
Prince George on the board. The Port Moody native picked up his second goal in
as many nights 16 minutes into the third to make it a two goal game.
The
Spruce Kings would earn three more power plays in the third, but were unable to
beat Fenton. With 17 seconds left and PG pressing, the Express were able to
break the other way on a 3-on-1, and after about five passes more than needed,
McIlmurray tapped home his second of the game.
With
the win, Coquitlam won the season series 4-3. Prince George won twice at home,
and once on the road for their three wins.
