The 91原创 91原创 continue to have an affinity for wanting to play past 60 minutes.
In eight junior A hockey games so far this BCHL season, the 91原创 have gone past regulation in four of those contests. And while they have yet to win a game beyond 60 minutes, the team continues piling up the 鈥榣oser鈥� point after dropping a pair of 4-3 decisions over the weekend on Vancouver Island.
The 91原创 lost to the Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday night and then the Alberni Valley Bulldogs the following afternoon.
The results leave the 91原创 with a 3-1-4-0 record, good for second spot in the BCHL鈥檚 Mainland Division as the season enters its second month.
Both games saw 91原创 losing 3-1 after 40 minutes only to rally and force overtime.
In the first contest, the 91原创 looked as if they were heading towards a regulation loss but Alec Capstick and Nicholas Ponak 鈥� with his second of the game 鈥� scored in the final 96 seconds to force overtime.
Unfortunately, Victoria鈥檚 Marty Westhaver would pot the winner 1:22 into four-on-four hockey.
Braedon Fleming finished with 26 saves.
After falling behind 2-0 to the Bulldogs in the second period, Ponak potted his team-leading seventh goal but another Alberni Valley goal had the home side up 3-1 after two. Trevor Ayre and Ethan Leyh pulled the 91原创 even by the midway point of the third.
Brandon Bergado notched the winner at 2:53 of overtime.
Chad Cromar made 39 saves in the defeat.
Up next for the 91原创 is a home-and-home with the Coquitlam Express.
