The top line in the BCHL picked up the game's 3 stars on Saturday, combining for 7 points in the SilverBacks 4-1 win over the Langley Rivermen.
Coming off two wins over Trail, in a home and home, last weekend, the SilverBacks looked to improve on their impressive home record of 9-4-0-2, as they hosted the Langley Rivermen for the first and only time in this Season, after the Rivermen had topped Salmon Arm in a close game, last month.
The SilverBacks exploded with one of their best 1st periods of the season, as Rookie Defencemen Cole McAskill made an unbelievable spin-o-rama move from center ice to get the puck on net for his 2nd of the season, thanks to a Jeff Kennedy shot and re-bound.
McCaskill's defensive partner on the night, Captain Blake Box, scored his 1st goal of the year; officially, as he had a goal taken from him in Trail last week, his marker made the game 2-0 at 13:59 of the 2nd period.
Langley scored the 2nd's lone goal, when Gage Torrel’s one-timer beat 'Backs Netminder Adam Clark, thanks to a feed from Austin Azurdia that cut the Salmon Arm lead to 3-1.
In the final period of play; with a 2 goal lead on home ice, the SilverBacks Landon Smith picked up his 24th goal, and 48th point, to give his squad a 4-1 advantage.
The SilverBacks host the West Kelowna Warriors on Sunday, at 3pm, at the Shaw Centre.
