Night 117

In Powell River at Hap Parker Arena the Kings (44-9-3-2) snapped the Salmon Arm Silverbacks' (37-18-2-0) nine game winning streak with a 4-1 victory. The Kings were led by their three best players as forwards Matt Garbowsky and Chad Niddery each had three-point nights while Michael Garteig stopped 25 shots.

Down 1-0 the Silverbacks tied the game early in the second period with Bryce Gervais' 29th of the season after breaking his nose earlier in the game. Dave Killip blocked a clearing attempt and then fed Brett Knowles for the initial shot to draw the assists. 75 seconds later though Powell River retook the lead for good on a powerplay goal of their own.

With the loss the Apes will need to win their last three games and have Vernon pick up only one point in their final two contests in order to finish first. Failing to finish first, three wins will clinch second spot.

The game was delayed 40 minutes due to weather conditions postponing the Silverbacks arrival until 6:40 pm.
