The Prince George Spruce Kings are making due with what they have in front of them.
At least when it comes to the BCHL schedule makers.
For the second weekend in a row, the Spruce Kings kicked off a home double-header against one of the league’s weakest teams and predictably came away with two points.
Mason Loewen, Lucas Busch and Spencer Masters lit the lamp once each in a 3-0 win over the Surrey Eagles Friday night in front of 1128 fans at the Kopar Memorial Arena.
PG outshot Surrey 30-13 after two periods before locking it down in the final 20 minutes, pounding the Eagles into submission with stout defensive play.
Ryder Green pitched a 21-save shutout for the Spruce Kings. Eagles netminder Brady Smith made 37 stops in the loss.
The Spruce Kings went 1-for-5 on the power-play while Surrey was 0-for-3.
PG (28-14-2-0) is five points up on the Coquitlam Express for first-place in the Coastal East Division.
The Express (25-16-2-1) fell 9-5 to the Langley Rivermen on Friday.
A four-game homestand comes to an end tonight (Saturday) for the Spruce Kings when they drop the puck against Surrey (6-33-6-0) at 6:00 from the Kopar Memorial Arena.
