Chilliwack Bruins News Release


Chilliwack BC - The Chilliwack Bruins break a nine game losing streak and also lock down 7th in the West with a 3-1 victory over the Kamloops Blazers.

Jordan Rowley gave the Blazers the lead 1-0 on the power play early in period two, but after that it was all Bruins as Mark Santorelli scored late in the second to tie things up before Evan Pighin notched his 20th goal of the season early in the third. Cody Smuk added an empty netter late in the period and the Bruins win their 27th game of the season, but their first since a 3-2 win over Edmonton back on Feb 19.

The Blazers, who were picked by many to contend for the Western Conference title, will settle into 8th spot in the West and await the winner of the Conference, either Tri City or Spokane, as they will open the playoffs on the road in eastern Washington.

The Bruins will continue their weekend of games with a home game against the Everett Silvertips on Saturday evening in Chilliwack, followed by the season finale against the Giants in Vancouver on Sunday afternoon.
