PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Spruce Kings have been wanting consistency and they have found the recipe for it lately, pushing their winning streak to four games following a dominant 6-2 win over the Penticton Vees Wednesday night inside the Rolling Mix Concrete Arena.
The red light didn’t get tested until the second period and when it did it was in favour of the Spruce Kings. Simon Labelle broke the silence inside the RMCA Wednesday night, putting the Kings ahead 1-0. It marked the Ottawa, Ont. native’s eighth of the season.
Nearly four minutes later, Labelle was back inside the offensive zone causing problems for Penticton after picking the pocket of a Vees player. He put a shot on net which ended up getting tipped by Nick Rheaume in front of the net. The goal made it 15 on the season for Rheaume.
Just 18 seconds later, a miscue by Vees’ goalie Colin Purcell behind the net saw the puck end up on the stick of Nathan Fox to the left of the net, before firing the puck tight to the post and in for the unassisted goal. It was Fox’s second of the season as he push the lead to 3-0.
