Sophomore winger Keyvan Mokhtari picked up where he left off the previous Saturday, scoring a pair of goals in the win. He now has five goals in his last two outings and nine in total on the sa国际传媒 Hockey League season.
It was the 11th time in 12 outings that the Grizzlies have earned points in a game as they improve to 10-2-2-3 overall. The only game in which they didn鈥檛 manage a point over that stretch was a 3-1 home loss to Chilliwack on Oct. 9.
Cam Thompson also scored for Victoria, which held 2-0 and 3-1 leads.
Kohen Olischefski, Jake Smith and Josh Boynec 鈥� who benefited from a weird bounce off the glass partition early in the third period to tie it at 3-3 鈥� replied for the Chiefs.
Meanwhile, the BCHL board of governors approved a new post-season format for 2016-17, eliminating the three-division round-robin to determine the two finalists.
The Island and Mainland Divisions remain the same in that the top four teams advance to determine a division winner, with those two divisional champs meeting to determine a finalist.
In the Interior Division, six teams will qualify with the top two earning first-round byes. A wrench has also been thrown in with a possible crossover should the fifth-place Mainland team have more points than No. 6 team in the Interior.
Once the Interior determines its champion, that team will play the winner of the Island-Mainland final in the Fred Page Cup.
鈥淔or me, you have to win four rounds to win it and whatever they put in front of us, we鈥檒l get done,鈥� said Grizzlies general manager and head coach Craig Didmon, who is glad to see the three-team round-robin disappear. 鈥淲e had a chance to be in that short round-robin a few years back and I wasn鈥檛 a big fan of it.鈥�
