Garcia's OT winner sparks Leafs past Border Bruins

Tyler Garcia scored an unassisted marker at three minutes of overtime to spark the Nelson Leafs to a 3-2 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League victory over the Grand Forks Border Bruins Friday night at the NDCC Arena.

The win was the second straight for the Leafs against the Bruins this season — both one goal victories.

Tyler Fyfe scored twice to lead the Leafs.

Shayne Pluto scored twice for the Bruins, forcing overtime with late goal in the third period.

Nelson out shot the Bruins 32-27 in the game.

Joseph Barton earned the win between the pipes for Nelson.

The Leafs return to action Sunday afternoon when North Okanagan visits the NDCC Arena for a 2:30 p.m. puck drop.
