Dec 31, 2017 | 9:28 AM

The Prince George Spruce Kings and the Langley Rivermen rematched Saturday night, and the Kings edged their Mainland Division rivals by a 3-2 score in double overtime.
Patrick Cozzi played the hero at the Rolling Mix Concrete Arena sniping home a shot past the five-hole of Langley netminder Braedon Fleming.
The Spruce Kings improve are now 20-12-2-4 on the season and are two points back of the Rivermen for first place in the Mainland Division.
Kyle Johnson and Ben Brar opened the scoring in the first period for Prince George who jumped out to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.
Langley pushed back in the second as John Wojciehowoksi and Jordan Dawson tied it up at deuces at the conclusion of 40 minutes.
Prince George kicks off a three game road trip Friday in Penticton against the Vees.
