Berard pushes Kings by Vipers

The Vernon Vipers headed to Duncan Saturday night tied for second place in the B.C. Hockey League's Interior Division.

The Vipers lost 2-1 to the host Powell River Kings Friday night, while the Wenatchee Wild dispatched the Trail Smoke Eaters to grab a share of second spot in the tight Interior.

The Penticton Vees moved four points ahead of Vernon and Wenatchee by getting two goals from Owen Sillinger in a 5-1 win over the Coquitlam Express at the Poirier Sports & Leisure Centre.

First star Derek Krall posted 46 saves as Powell River shaded the Vipers before 875 fans at Hap Parker Arena. Ben Berard scored in the first and second periods for the Kings.

Jimmy Lambert countered for the Vipers at 8:38 of the third period with Mitch Andres and Brett Stapley drawing assists. Ty Taylor made 24 saves for Vernon, who outshot Powell River 25-7 in the middle stanza. The Vipers faced the Cowichan Valley Capitals Saturday night.
