Coquitlam Express continue to power their way up the B.C. Hockey League standings -- literally.
The Express scored their first four goals on a power play that has been dynamite of late on way to a 6-5 overtime victory Saturday over the host Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The win, coupled with an 8-5 romp Friday over the Grizzlies in Victoria, boosted the Express to 27-16-2-2 on the Jr. 'A' season.
"One of the reasons for [our] rise in the standings this season has been the consistent work on special teams," Express assistant coach Grant Kerr said via the team's website. "Also encouraging is the fact the special teams are ranked second in the league both at home and on the road."
Against Cowichan, the Express overcame an early 1-0 deficit by pumping in three straight goals with the man advantage, including those by Alex Kerfoot, Mitch Nardi and Malcolm McKinney. Alex Petan then scored another poweplay goal, with other Coquitlam scorers being Kerfoot with his second of the game and Zach Hodder, with the OT winner.
McKinney and John Siemer bagged two goals apiece for the Express versus Victoria.
