November has been nearly a perfect month for the Prince George Spruce Kings.
They’ve lost just one game in regulation time while putting together an 8-1-1-1 record. Of those 11 games, just one team, the Langley Rivermen, was able to prevent the Spruce Kings from gaining at least a point during a remarkable run that’s taken Prince George to the top of the overall standings in the B.C. Hockey League.
The Rivermen hung a 2-1 loss on the Kings on Nov. 10 at Rolling Mix Concrete Arena and they’ll have two chances to become repeat winners on Prince George ice when they take on the Kings tonight (7 p.m. start) and Saturday at RMCA.
The Rivermen (14-13-1-0, fourth in Mainland Division) are 5-5-0-0 in their last 10 games and they’re 14 points behind the league-leading Spruce Kings (20-7-1-2), who are coming off a 3-1 victory Wednesday at home against the Merritt Centennials.
Tonight is the second of a seven-game homestand for the Spruce Kings. Newly-acquired right winger Garrett Worth, 19, is expected to make his Spruce Kings debut since being picked up Tuesday in a trade from the Vernon Vipers.
