It was the 2nd meeting of the weekend between  the two teams. They battled to a 2-2 tie Friday night in Chilliwack.

Sunday's game game was a much different story than Friday which saw the Express pepper the Chiefs with numerous top notch scoring chances. In this one the Express chances were few and far between.

The win saw Chilliwack finish the season series 7-0-1 against the Express. Their undefeated streak against the Express now stands at 28 games at 27-0-1 (regular season and playoffs)

In recent meetings between the teams the Chiefs put the Express in a first period hole. Sunday was no different.

Ryan Bowen set up Corey Andonovski who creeped behind Clay Stevenson for a tap in at 3:28. 8 minutes later Andonovski raced down the right wing and put a pass on the tape of Bryan Allbee and just like that it was 2-0 Chiefs.

Mathieu Caron had to be spectacular just to get the Chiefs a point on Friday. Today he made some more spectacular saves. Just no where near as many. His best of the first period stopped Jack Lippis on the rush, then Eric Linell on the rebound.

The Chiefs outshot the Express 14-4 in the first period.

Kaden Pickering extended the Chiefs lead to 3-0 snapping a shot past the glove of Stevenson. That would the lone goal of the second period that saw the Chiefs outshoot the Express 10-3. Caron made another great save to deny Eric Linell on a 2 on 1 rush.

Pickering scored his second of the night 4 minutes into the third period racing into the Express zone on the right wing and snapping a shot past Stevenson.

Josh Wildauer broke Mathieu Caron's shutout bid with a power play goal at 11:34.

The game was iced in the dying moments on a empty net goal for Skyler Brind'Amour.

Chilliwack finished the game outshooting the Express 29-16.

The Express return to action Wednesday night when they host the Surrey Eagles.
