The Kelowna Rockets extended their win streak to four games with a 2-1 victory over the BC Division leading Kamloops Blazers on Friday night at Prospera Place in Kelowna, BC.
Rockets captain defenceman Tyson Feist scored both goals for Kelowna after Kamloops opened the scoring. Talyn Boyko made 30 saves on 31 shots to pick up his 21st win of the season.
In a tight defensive matchup, there were only four penalties called all came long - two each.
The Blazers got on the board first when Logan Bairos set up Reese Belton (10) in the slot 10:07 into the second period. Tyson Feist (10) responded exactly five minutes after with his first goal in sixteen games.
Early in the third, Feist (11) fired the game-winner through traffic that found its way past Blazers starter Dylan Ernst. It appeared as though Kamloops tied the game with 5:33 to go in the game, but it was deemed no goal.
Kelowna outshot Kamloops 35-31.
Both teams were zero-for-one on the power play.
The Rockets record is now 30-12-1-3, they're eight points back of Kamloops for first in the division but have five games in hand.
Kamloops and Kelowna don't have to wait long to face each other. The two will play at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops tomorrow at 7:00 pm. You can watch the game on CHL TV or listen on AM 1150.
The Rockets next home game is Friday, March 4th when they host the Vancouver Giants.
