A dominant second period helped the WLA 91原创 Thunder hold off the Burnaby Lakers when they travelled to Burnaby鈥檚 Bill Copeland Arena on Friday night, June 16.

91原创 outscored the hosts 9-1 over those 20 minutes as they escaped the Swamp with a 16-13 victory.

The win was a fourth straight for 91原创, which improved them to 5-1, while the Lakers saw their record fall to 1-5.

Early on, it was all Lakers as Burnaby scored three times in the first 2:59 for the quick 3-0 lead and after the Thunder finally got on the board, it was still 6-3 Lakers with under four minutes to play in the opening frame. But 91原创 would close the gap to within one prior to intermission and then dominated the middle frame by scoring nine of the period鈥檚 10 goals for a 14-7 lead. And that seven-goal cushion came in handy as Burnaby outscored 91原创 6-2 in the third period.
