This game had a great atmosphere leading up to puck drop, and attendance was large, partially due to it being the teams first ever pride night. You can read about pride night here:
Ten minutes into the first, Ray Hamlin scored the first goal to get the momentum going for the Express. The train kept on rolling as Mormonism Buttazzoni put in a beautiful goal, and Coco Armstrong shot one in to end the first period strong!
The Express got to work right away in the second period, as Blake Setter got his first goal in the BCHL. The Capitals were finally able to answer back with a goal of their own and had hopes of swinging momentum back in their favour. Those hopes didn’t last long though as Coco Armstrong scored his second of the night, and Tyler Kopff banked the puck in to end the second period.

The Express train slowed down a bit in the third period, and the Capitals were able to score one more goal to make the final score 6-2 for the Express.
The first time these two teams played this season it was a highly competitive contest, with the Capitals coming out on top 4-3 in overtime. The Express have clearly tightened up their game as they’ve progressed throughout the season and will hope to continue on this upwards trajectory.
The Express play the Chilliwack Chiefs this Sunday on the road.
