Victoria, BC - The Salmon Kings and the Alaska Aces begin a three-game set tonight at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Goaltender Jean-Phillipe Lamoureux gets the start for the Aces while the Salmon Kings countered with Todd Ford.

The Aces tied it up with a goal from Alexandre Imbeault when he batted it in past Ford. The second period saw end-to-end action as both teams had chances but after 40 minutes the game was tied at one goal a piece.
