Kamloops Blazers News Release
Alex Rodgers set up the tying goal and scored the game winner as the Blazers rallied from a pair of one-goal deficits to double up the Winter Hawks 4-2 last night in Portland.
Following a Matt Schmermund goal, Brady Calla supplied a brilliant shorthanded goal midway through the opening period to tie the game at one while Victor Bartley converted a Juuso Puustinen pass in the final minute of the second to tie the game at two - a goal which answered a Jacob Dietrich tally 5 minutes earlier.
Rodgers then redirected Ivan Roháè's centering feed past Kurtis Mucha with 1:32 gone in the third to give the Blazers their first lead of the night. Tyler Shattock scored his 4th goal in 5 games - into an empty net - to close the scoring.
Portland outshot the Blazers 34-32 with James Priestner picking up the win while Mucha took the loss.
The Blazers were 0-for-4 on the PP and 5-for-5 on the PK.
Next up: a visit to Chilliwack on Saturday.
