Kings bounce back from blowout

by Alistair McInnis of the Prince George Free Press

Dempsey said goaltending played a factor in Friday’s loss in Vernon, and the third period collapse versus Merritt. Mainprize allowed eight goals on 40 shots versus the Vipers, while his backup Damien Ketlo stood between the pipes versus the Centennials.

“The story to [the Merritt] game in the third period and the story basically in Vernon, to be honest with you [is] we didn’t get much goaltending,” he said. “It’s always tough to gage how good or how bad you’re playing when your goaltenders aren’t really having a good night.”

Fraser, who has at least a goal in each of the team’s last four games dating back to a two-goal night versus Surrey Oct. 20 at the Prince George Coliseum, was the lone Spruce Kings marksman in Vernon.

Spruce Kings defenceman Jeff Forsythe suited up in each of the weekend games for the Spruce Kings. Dempsey said his health is still a work in progress and he’s short of 100 per cent.
