The Americans began a busy week of four games with a road match on Monday in Kelowna. Tri-City struggled to find their offensive stride as they fell 3-1 to the Rockets at Prospera Place.
Carson Golder opened scoring for Kelowna 5:40 off a set up in front of the net from Adam Kydd. The Rockets held on to their 1-0 lead into the first intermission after outshooting Tri-City 13-9 in the first period.

Chase Friedt-Mohr sent a breakout pass to Dragicevic in the neutral zone and the 2023 NHL Draft prospect set up in the high slot with a toe drag around Rockets defender John Babcock. He scored with a wrist shot over the the right shoulder of Kelowna's goaltender, Talyn Boyko.
