The Penticton Vees are on the road to Kamloops tonight where they will take on the Blazers for the first time. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:00PM.

Catch all the action on Victory+, Summit 800 AM and Summit 98.5 Summerland.

It's the first of three straight games between these two B.C. Division opponents.

The Vees (11-7-3-3) came out of the gates slow against the Giants last night but managed to score two in the third to send the game eventually to a shootout. The Giants would score the lone goal in the shootout to take a 3-2 victory. Jacob Kvasnicka and Ryden Evers scored for Penticton with AJ Reyelts stopping 25/27 shots he faced.

The Blazers enter the game 12-10-2-2 on the year. They defeated the Spokane Chiefs at home last night by a score of 5-4 and have won two straight games entering tonight's contest.

Following tonight's game the Vees are back in Kamloops next Friday before returning home to host the Blazers for the Teddy Bear toss Saturday, Dec. 6.
