Kyle Beach scored his second hat trick of the season and Jared Spurgeon helped on three goals in his first game of the year in Spokane's 6-1 win over the Kamloops Blazers on Saturday night in the Spokane Arena.

In the second, Wahl scored what was the second of three power play goals on the night at 3:10 from Stefan Ulmer and Beach. Brady Brassart recorded his first career WHL goal at 5:51 driving to the net and finishing a rebound of an Anthony Bardaro shot.

Ulmer's third goal of the season was scored at 13:03 of the third. Beach wrapped up the hat-trick with 15-seconds remaining in the game on a breakaway that was initially stopped but poked in by the 19-year-old for his 100th career WHL goal.
