Coquitlam Express goalie Brock Hamm kicks out his pad to stop Surrey Eagles forward Chase Danol in their BC Hockey League game Saturday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The Eagles won the game, 5-3, and swept the teams' home-and-home weekend series after they also beat the Express 4-2 on Friday in Surrey.

Saturday, the Express squandered a 2-0 lead in the first period and a 3-2 advantage in the second period before giving up two unanswered goals in the third period en route to their 16th loss of the season. They were also outshot by the visitors, 40-22.

Landon Fuller, Hadyn Delorme Joshua Bruce scored the Express' goals.

Friday, Coquilam spotted the Eagles a 2-0 lead in the first period and never recovered as they also trailed 3-1 at the end of the second. They closed to within a goal in the third period, but John Wesley scored into an empty net in the game's final minute to seal the win for Surrey.

Eric Linell and William Lawrence scored for the Express, and Hamm stopped 38 of the 42 shots he faced.

The Express play the Rivermen in Langley on Thursday before returning home for a pair of games, Friday against Wenatchee and Sunday afternoon against Alberni Valley.
