As the Penticton Vees’ triggerman, Zack Stringer celebrated his 21st birthday in style and his party on the ice doomed the Prince George Spruce Kings to an early exit in the BCHL playoffs.
The Vees tied it seven minutes later when Stringer’s linemate, Callum Arnott, gained the puck against the wall just inside the Prince George zone and he turned and fired off a low shot that went through the legs of Amran Bhabra and slipped through Green’s five-hole. The loss to the Vees was especially bitter for the 20-year-old Bhabra, a five-year Spruce King defenceman who has played his final junior hockey game.
Aidan Souligny, a 17-year-old defenceman picked up at the trade deadline from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, let go wrister and Owen Goodbrand was there for the redirect, his first goal of the playoffs. The Kings had the league’s fifth-best power play throughout the season and it clicked again for them late in the second period.
Green was a standout in the last two games and that came as a huge relief to Evin when he lost his two starters, Charlie Zolin and Ryan Sanborn, to injuries.
