Cox's goal downs Chiefs

MOOSE JAW, Saskatchewan - Connor Cox's goal at 15:54 of the third period lifted the Moose Jaw Warriors past the Spokane Chiefs 3-2 in Western Hockey League action in front of 2,556 at the Civic Centre on Friday night.

Spokane's Anthony Bardaro scored midway through the second, tying the game at 1.

Levko Koper scored for the Chiefs on the power play (5-7, 10 points) to tie the game at 2 early in the third.

James Reid had 40 saves for the Chiefs, who visit the Regina Pats tonight at 6 PDT.

"We didn't win a lot of battles at either end of the ice," Chiefs assistant coach Jon Klemm said. "It was just one of those games we weren't ready to play - it's a learning experience."
