Chad Staley scored twice and added two assists to lead the Prince George Spruce Kings (5-1-0-0) to a 6-4 win over the visiting Chilliwack Chiefs (4-1-0-0) Friday night.
The Spruce King led 3-0 after one period and upped their lead to four with a shorthanded goal by Staley with just 12 seconds gone in the second period.

Jake Larson's second of the night at 3:06 of the third period once again brought the Chiefs to within one but that was as close as they would get.
The Spruce Kings outshot the Chiefs 27-20.
Chilliwack was 1/5 on the power play while the Kings went 3/5
