COQUITLAM – The Spruce Kings pulled out a 5-4 win in the Lower Mainland on Friday night.

By the end of the second period, Manz added another goal for the Kings but it was answered by Coquitlam leaving the score 3-1 heading into the final 20 minutes. 

The third period was action-packed. The Express scored at both the 9-second and 40-second mark, followed up by the Spruce King’s Ben Poisson minutes later.
