The Powell River Kings jumped out to a commanding first period lead and held on late for a double overtime victory over the Victoria Grizzlies on home ice Saturday night.The Kings opened the scoring midway through the first period on a Darcy Huisman power-play effort, and doubled the lead minutes later when Matt Garbowsky netted a shorthanded goal past Grizzlies starter Ryan Holfield. Justin DaSilva then extended the lead to three goals with an even strength tally two minutes before intermission.Following a scoreless second period, the Grizzlies rebounded in the third with a rally started by a Brandon Fagerheim power-play marker. Alex Allan then scored a pair of goals in the span of 2:23 to tie the game, capping the comeback on the man advantage at the 15:56 mark of the period.Powell River would ultimately grab the victory, however, as Garbowsky scored his second of the night with just a minute remaining in double overtime off a feed from Huisman. Garbowsky was named the game's first star following a three-point night.The Grizzlies now return home to host the Langley Chiefs on Sunday afternoon, while Powell River is idle until next Saturday when they travel to visit the Merritt Centennials.
