Lineker's goal leads Bruins over Chiefs 4 2

The streak is over ... finally.

Craig Lineker scored with 5:12 remaining in the third period to propel the Chilliwack Bruins to a 4-2 victory over the Spokane Chiefs in Western Hockey League action Saturday, snapping Chilliwack's 11-game losing skid.

The last time the Bruins won was the season opener against Kelowna exactly one month ago.

Oscar Moller, with two, and Myles Stoesz also scored for Chilliwack (2-10-1-0), which lost 5-2 in Kelowna on Friday.

Corey Courchene and David Rutherford replied for Spokane (5-5-2-0), which lost 3-0 in Vancouver on Friday.

Lineker's goal, his first of the season, sent the Bruins bench and the 4,892 fans in attendance bonkers.

Watt finished with 35 saves, including all 17 shots he faced in the third period.

Armstrong finished with 22 saves.
