GAME SUMMARY:
The Kamloops Blazers started the scoring on Thursday night at 1:47 of the opening frame. A scoreless second period gave way to two Winterhawks goals early in the third. On the 5-on-3 man advantage, captain Kyle Chyzowski got Portland on the board 46 seconds into the period putting the puck in from the left post off a slick pass from Tyson Jugnauth. Still on the power play, Tyson Yaremko collected the rebound and tapped the puck into a yawning cage. Kamloops answered at 11:51 of the third, tying the game and sending it to extra time. The Blazers earned the game-winner at 1:47 of the overtime frame.
"We talked to our group about just making sure we continue to build," said head coach Kyle Gustafson. "We wanted to make sure that we're just building, that we're dialing it in at the start. It wasn't something we accomplished tonight, but we can take a lot of positives out of this game."
