Josh Viegas's second goal of the game midway through the third period stood as the winner as the Port Moody Black Panthers posted a dramatic 4-3 comeback victory Sunday over the Grandview Steelers at Burnaby Winter Club.

The Pacific International Jr. 'B' hockey league win gave the Cats three of a possible six points on the weekend after they fell 4-3 Friday in an overtime shootout to the host Abbotsford Pilots and 6-3 Saturday to the visiting Delta Ice Hawks.

The results moved the Cats to 19-14-6 and three points behind the first-place Pilots in the five-team Harold Brittain Conference.

The 21-14-4 Steelers led 3-1 after the first period before the Cats mounted their comeback in the second, with Zack Henry and Viegas tallying to set the stage for Viegas's late-game heroics.

Joel Hamilton also struck net for the Cats, who got a solid 29-save effort from goalie Nicholas Taylor.

On Saturday, Delta raced to a 3-0 first-period lead the Cats never recovered, despite goals from Hamilton, Brandon Millin and Maximillian Fiedler, who pulled PoMo within one early in the third before the Ice Hawks scored twice more to earn the victory.
