Bandits downed 3-1 in Prince George, Doyle Cup tied 2-2
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — The Brooks Bandits saw a 1-0 lead evaporate as the Prince George Spruce Kings took Game 4 of the 2019 Doyle Cup on Wednesday night, defeating the AJHL champions 3-1 at the Rolling Mix Concrete Arena.
The Bandits led after the first period, holding the Spruce Kings to just four shots, but were outshot 24-11 the rest of the way en route to the loss.
Jakob Lee opened the scoring 8:11 into the game when he tapped in the rebound of a Brandon Scanlin power play point shot to give Brooks the 1-0 advantage.
But Prince George tied it just 1:49 into the second on a power play of their own, after a two-pass play in front of the net led to a tap-in by Nolan Welsh to knot the game up. After William Lemay was denied on a breakaway in the period, Patrick Cozzi scored on a one-on-one rush to give Prince George its first lead of the night.
