The Penticton Vees used a first period powerplay goal to guide them to a 1-0 victory in Game 5.  

The Vees now lead the Round 2 series 3-2 and can close it out on Sunday in Prince George.

Penticton used their only powerplay of the night to their advantage as Charlie Michaud found Brittan Alstead with a cross-ice pass and he one-timed it past Joshua Ravensbergen to make it 1-0 after 20 minutes.  

The Vees were strong in the second period, only giving up five shots, and carried the 1-0 lead into the third. 

Prince George pushed hard early in the first and got a powerplay in the middle of the frame but were unable to score and AJ Reyelts shut the door the rest of the way leading the way to a 1-0 Game 5 victory.
