The season is ticking down on the junior B Grandview Steelers.
The Burnaby Winter Club-based Steelers chalked up their 17th win of the Pacific Junior Hockey League with a 6-2 win over the Ridge Meadows Flames at home on Sunday.
The victory left the Steelers in last place in the Tom Shaw Conference, still two points behind the North Vancouver Wolf Pack, and with four games remaining in the regular-season schedule in the race for the fourth and final playoff spot.
North Vancouver, with seven games still left to play, currently enjoys a three-game cushion on the Steelers.
Grandview lost an important 3-2 decision to the league-leading Richmond Sockeyes last Thursday.
The Steelers surrendered two unanswered goals in the final 20 minutes of the game at the Richmond Arena despite outshooting their hosts 39-29.
Second star Spencer Meyer gave Grandview a 2-0 first-period lead with a goal and an assist on Karl Schopf's last minute marker.
On Sunday, Meyer was again the team's first star, contributing a goal and a single helper in the win over Ridge Meadows.
Prospect Quinn Lenihan also had a two-point outing, including an unassisted goal in the middle frame. Joshua Spence had two assists for the Steelers.
Grandview hosts the Aldergrove Kodiaks at the winter club on Super Bowl Sunday.
The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. to accommodate the football game.
