It was far from a masterpiece but the Prince George Spruce Kings find themselves in the win column at the Chilliwack hub.
A two-goal second period from Christian Buono and Ben LeFranc paced the Spruce Kings to a 3-2 victory on Easter Sunday against the Merritt Centennials.
SPRUCE WIN!
Kolton Cousins chopped home a goalmouth scramble past Merritt netminder Josh Dias at 10:32 of the first period to give PG a 1-0 advantage.
Seven minutes later, former Kamloops Blazer and Saskatoon Blade, Jerzy Orchard went bar-down on Spruce Kings goaltender Jordan Fairlie to even the score at 1-1 after 20 minutes.
