Cowichan Valley Capitals netminder Laurent Brossoit picked up his first British Columbia Hockey League shutout on Saturday night, turning aside 35 shots in a 3-0 home ice victory over the Burnaby Express.
Mike Hammond gaves the Capitals an early lead, taking a feed from Shayne Taker and beating Express starter Harrison May just 1:20 into the first period.
Nick Anderson and Joey Massingham supplied the rest of the offence in the second period, with Anderson striking at the 6:09 mark before the Cowichan Valley captain put the game away on a shorthanded effort late in the period. Taker and Hammond both ended the night with two points for the Capitals.
Brossoit held Burnaby to a 0-for-7 mark on the power-play and was particularly sharp during a 20-save third period. May, meanwhile, turned aside 25 shots in the loss.
Burnaby will look to conclude their three-game Vancouver Island road swing with their first win on Sunday when they visit Alberni Valley, while the Capitals make the trip to Nanaimo for a matinee encounter with the Clippers.
