PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Spruce Kings split a pair of games against the Langley Rivermen this weekend, as they fell 2-1 in overtime at Kopar Memorial Arena Saturday (March 8) night.

Brock Cummings scored late in the third period to extend the game, but it only took a minute for the Rivermen to come away with the extra point. Keenan Ingram scored the overtime winner for Langley, who also got a goal from Ryan Schelling in the first period.
