REVELSTOKE, B.C. — The Merritt Centennials have staved off elimination for the second time in three nights.

The Centennials beat the Revelstoke Grizzlies 4-2 Friday (March 13) night in game five of their Bill Ohlhausen Divisional semi-final series at the Revelstoke Forum. Merritt trails the best-of-seven series 3-2 with game six to be played at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena this evening.

Merritt led 2-1 after the period though power play goals from Ryder McAslan and Callum MacLean at 3:08 and 17:54. The Grizzlies got on the board through Jett Patola, who also scored a power play goal at 16:08.
