Brandon Rowley made it 4-1 on the power play with 3:12 remaining in the period, but the Vipers would respond just 7 seconds later thanks to Jordan Lucas.

With under two minutes to go in the 2nd the Vipers were on the man advantage, but it would be Rowley scoring his 2nd goal of the game shorthand which vaulted Dawson Creek to a 5-2 lead.

Jordan Lucas would score for Sexsmith in the 3rd, but it was as close as they would come as the Jr.Canucks held on for a 5-3 win.

With the loss, the Vipers losing streak has hit 9 games, and the club’s record has fallen to 7-11-2 on the year.

While Dawson Creek’s win moves them to 15-9-0 and back into first place in the NWJHL.
