The game started out slow with the Capitals getting the only goal of the period.

The Express fought back in the second period though as Mirko Buttazzoni scored to tie the game 1-1 heading into the third.

The Express ran away with it in the third period as Mateo Dixon, scored for the Express early. Ray Hamlin followed up with a goal shortly after on the power play and Blake Setter would put one more in the net for good measure after the Capitals pulled their goalie. Final score 4-1 for the Express.

This win has secured the Express a playoff spot in the Fred Cup tournament. This tournament will be tough for the Express as the Penticton Vees, Cranbrook Bucks, and Nanaimo Clippers all look very promising.

The Express have had a great season though so an upset win could be on the table for them.
