The Wolf Pack forced overtime after scoring twice in a three-minute span in the third period. Aldergrove had led 2-0 with first period goals from Potomak and Ryan Procyshyn. Mark Menicucci stopped 26 shots for the victory. The Kodiaks also won 7-2 last Wednesday over the Mission Icebreakers with Thomas Hardy (two goals, one assist), Jordan Pughe (one goal, two assists) and Potomak (three assists) leading the way with a combined nine points. Menicucci was also in goal for that victory, stopping 30 shots. The Kodiaks (10-4-0-0) will go for their eighth straight win Nov. 8 when
