Barrie became the Rockets all time leading scorer amongst defenceman, surpassing Josh Gorges with the effort which included a shootout goal, an unassisted marker and a power play goal.

"It's pretty cool. I've been fortunate to play on some really good teams. It's nice to be up there with some of the guys that have played defense here," said Barrie.

With the two goals Barrie, a Victoria native, now has 153 all time points, passing Gorges total of 152.

The Rockets are back on the ice tomorrow night against Medicine Hat at 7 p.m. at Prospera Place and also play Sunday in Seattle (5 p.m.).
