KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Rookie netminder Raiden LeGall earned his first career win as the Everett Silvertips bested the Kamloops Blazers 5-2 on Saturday night at the Sandman Centre.
Former Silvertip Oren Shtrom opened up scoring for the Blazers 3:34 into the second period. Everett's Tyler Mackenzie responded less than 30 seconds later, fielding a pass from Jaxsin Vaughan and powering a shot over the left shoulder of Kamloops netminder Dylan Ernst for his 19th of the year.
Eric Jamieson put the Tips in the lead at 14:07 in the period, sneaking a low wrister past the leg of Ernst. Fellow co-captain Kaden Hammell then capitalized on a two-on-one with Carter Bear at 16:10 for his third goal of the season. Emmett Finnie pulled the Blazers back within one at 18:18 for a 3-2 score heading into the second intermission.
The Silvertips grabbed an insurance goal just 24 seconds into the third period, as Dominik Rymon converted on a Vaughan setup past the outstretched legs of Ernst. Carter Bear recorded his 100th point with an empty net goal 18:37 into the third period to seal a 5-2 final for Everett.
LeGall, 18 years old, stopped 29 of 31 in his debut.
