EVERETT, Wash. - Connor Dewar scored twice and Dustin Wolf recorded 38 saves and an assist in his WHL debut to lift the Everett Silvertips to a 3-1 victory over the Kamloops Blazers on Friday, before 3,275 fans at Sandman Centre in WHL action.

Wolf stopped 15 shots in the opening period and was supported by Connor Dewar's power play goal, lifting the Silvertips to a 1-0 edge. With 3:48 left, Wolf threaded a long pass up the right wing, catching Kamloops in the middle of a change. Patrick Bajkov took the feed with a clean zone entry and whipped a cross-ice pass to the tape of Connor Dewar, who buried a snap shot from the left circle.
Dewar's second goal of the game put the Tips up 2-0 at 1:58 of the second period, flipping a rebound over Dylan Ferguson on a scramble at the goal mouth manufactured by Riley Sutter and Matt Fonteyne.
Riley Sutter then found Bryce Kindopp wide open at the goal mouth, who waited out Ferguson and stashed a forehand bid up high with 14:13 to play in the second period for a 3-0 edge.
Dewar nearly completed a hat trick bid with less than five minutes to play, but a backhander that deflected off the post underwent video review and was upheld. Onrej Vala's then put the Blazers on the board with 3:41 left in the second period on a left point shot that deflected through traffic.
The Silvertips kept Kamloops at bay in the third period killed off a double minor high stick to Brandson Hein, while Wolf turned away 12 shots to seal the win.
