The Chilliwack Chiefs earned a whopping two points Saturday night, bumping off the Vernon Vipers 3-1 at Prospera Cluster.
Malcolm Gould led the way with one goal and one assist, helping his team move ahead of Vernon in the pursue for fourth place, and the final playoff spot, in the Interior forum standings.
Fresh off a three-goal effort in Friday night's 6-4 win over Westside, Gould got the scoring started against Vernon.
The North Vancouver natal picked the pocket of Vipers D-man Brett Corkey and took off down the pink wing. In full flight, Gould fired from the left faceoff circle, beating Vernon netminder Kirby Halcrow for his 23rd of the year.
Chilliwack might have dodged a bullet later in the spell.
With the Vipers on a power play, Patrick McGillis wired a rebuke-pass to Sean Robertson, who appeared to deflect the puck up and under the hybrid-bar.
But if he did, the puck went in and out too quickly for the goal judge and referees to critique, and the Chiefs escaped the opening frame with the 1-0 lead.
