Turris & Gudmandson Must Win or See Their Season End

UW recruits Kyle Turris of the Burnaby Express and Scott Gudmandson of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks both find their teams tied 3 games a piece against their first-round opponent in the BCHL playoffs.

Turris and the Express were up three games to one in the series and have lost the last two games including a 6-4 loss last night to the Langley Chiefs. Turris was named Third Star of the Game and notched a goal and an assist in the game.

Gudmandson and the Silverbacks were down three games to two against Prince George but won a 4-3 overtime thriller last night that saw Gudmandson named First Star of the Game after stopping 46 of 49 shots. Potential UW recruit Derek Lee had a goal and an assist in the game.

Both the Burnaby Express and Salmon Arm Silverbacks are in action tonight trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.
