Ethan Bono paced the Bulldogs attack with 2 goals and 2 assists in a 4-2 win over the Powell River Kings on Saturday night at the Hap Parker Arena.
Will Elger and Manu Charbonneau also scored in the Bulldogs victory.
Goaltender Hobie Hedquist returned to the Bulldogs crease after missing the past 3 games to injury and earned the win in goal stopping 26 of the 28 shots Powell River sent his way. Kyle Metson stopped 34 of 38 in goal for the Kings.
The power play on paper went 0 for 5, however 2 of the goals came just seconds after a Kings penalty expired. The Bulldogs penalty kill meanwhile was a perfect 3 for 3 on the night.
After allowing a point slip away the night before in Nanaimo, the Bulldogs got much needed victory and improved to 4-3-1-0 on the young season. Powell River drops to 2-4-1-0 with the loss.
The Bulldogs will now head to the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack this week. The Bulldogs will take on the always tough Vernon Vipers on Wednesday, and the defending BCHL champions, the Penticton Vees on Thursday afternoon. The Vees are off to a perfect 8-0-0-0 start to the season.
