Canucks edge Silver Knights 3-2 in OT for first-ever home win
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – Madison Bowey scored 2:44 into overtime, securing the newly minted Abbotsford Canucks a 3-2 victory over the Henderson Silver Knights in American Hockey League play on Friday.
Justin Bailey opened the scoring for Abbotsford (2-1-1) 13:05 into the first period, and Canucks centre Josh Stevens forced extra time with a goal 8:37 into the third.
Pavel Dorofeyev and Ben Jones replied for the Silver Knights (2-0-1).
