Last Time Out

The Winterhawks and Rockets skated to a scoreless tie through the opening period.

Portland opened the scoring at 5:29 of the second as Carsyn Dyck found Kyle McDonough driving the net to make it 1-0. Kelowna responded on special teams, with Tij Iginla scoring shorthanded before Owen Follstrom added a late power-play goal to give the Rockets a 2-1 lead after two.

Portland pushed in the third with 11 shots, but Kelowna held on for a 2-1 win.

Rockets Report

The Winterhawks and Rockets meet tonight for the second and final game of the weekend set, with Portland looking to rebound after a narrow 2-1 loss at the Glass Palace on Friday.

Kelowna enters play with a 19-14-3-2 record and sits fifth in the Western Conference with 43 points, just one ahead of seventh-place Portland. While the teams are separated by only a point, the Rockets are building toward their role as hosts of the 2026 Memorial Cup and will look to carry momentum into the second half of the season.

Overage forward Shane Smith paces Kelowna with 46 points (20G, 26A) in 42 games, including 23 points since joining the Rockets from Lethbridge in early November.
