Night 120
In Surrey at the South Arena the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (38-18-2-1) played one of their best defensive games of the season in a 4-1 victory over the Eagles (35-22-1-2). Allowing one goal or less for the first time since January 25th the Apes did an outstanding job of protecting the front of the net and keeping the Eagles to the outside. All six defenceman were also very good in getting the puck out of the defensive zone on their first oppurtunity.
Opening the scoring half way through the first period Josh Manson beautifully kept the puck in at the blueline and passed to Devin Gannon who sent the puck in front off the skate of Brett Knowles for his 29th goal of the season. 40 seconds into the second period and three ticks after a powerplay expired Surrey tied the game. Salmon restored the lead halfway through the middle stanza though as nine seconds after a powerplay of their own expired Mike Hammond niftly worked the puck out of the corner and found Devin Muller wide open at the side of the net for his 12th. In the third period the 'Backs scored twice 35 seconds apart on great three-way passing plays. First Morgan Zulinick and Hammond set up Brad Reid for his 23rd followed by Knowles feeding Dave Killip cross ice where he centered in front for a Gannon tip in and his 22nd marker of the year.
With the two points Mike Hammond takes over the BCHL points lead and barring a 20 point game from Massimo Lamacchia he will win the Brett Hull Trophy. It will be the second straight year that a Silverback takes home the award after 120 points from Mark Zengerle last season.
Still to be decided is who Salmon Arm will play in the playoffs as a win in thier final game against Coquitlam will result in a second place finish and a series against the Quesnel Millionaires for a second straight year. Anything but the two points and the Apes finish third and take on the Centennials of Merritt.

Night 119
In Langley at the Events Centre the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (37-18-2-1) kept pace in the race for second place with a 7-6 overtime loss against the Chiefs (31-21-1-7). Down 5-3 to start the third period Salmon Arm scored twice in the first ten minutes to tie the game. Langley quickly called a timeout and 66 seconds later took their third separate lead of the game (1-0,3-2,6-5). However only 24 ticks later Morgan Zulinick scored his second goal of the game to tie the contest up for a fifth time (0-0,1-1,2-2,5-5,6-6). After a late penalty to the Apes the Chiefs carried a powerplay over to overtime where seven seconds after it had expired the game ended.
Langley finished two-for-five on the man-advantage and also scored twice shortly after powerplays had expired (seven and 17 seconds).
After one of the worst first periods of the season, by both sides, the game took life early in the second frame as the Silverbacks scored twice to erase a 1-0 lead. The Chiefs though responded half way through the middle stanza with three unanswered goals in five minutes to reclaim the advantage. With 45 seconds left in the frame the 'Backs got back within one only to have Langley tally 36 ticks later with 10 seconds left on the clock.
Salmon Arm were lead by rookies Morgan Zulinick (two goals), Devin Muller (one assist), and Jarryd Ten Vaanholt (one of each) while veterans Devin Gannon, Dave Killip, and Brett Knowles were instrumental in the comeback with a goal and an assist each. Mike Hammond also had two apples and is one point behind Jordan Grant and tied with Bradley McGowan in the Brett Hull Trophy race. Hammond has two games left while Grant's season is over and McGowan has one contest left which will be against Hammond and the 'Backs on Saturday night.
With the win Langley clinches the third seed in the Coastal Conference and will face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in the first round of the playoffs. The Silverbacks meanwhile can guarantee a second place finish with wins in their last two games against Surrey and Coquitlam who will meet in the playoffs as well. Only two of the six first round matchups are left to be decided with Salmon Arm, Penticton, Merritt, and Quesnel/Prince George still awaiting to see who they will play.
With the loss the Apes become the final time in the 16 team league to loss a game in overtime (6-0-2-1).
