The Kelowna Rockets came up just short in a physical, tightly contested matchup, falling 3-2 to the Everett Silvertips on Saturday night at Prospera Place.
GAME SUMMARY
The Rockets struck first when Daniel Pekar (1) opened the scoring early in the first period with his first WHL goal, finishing a rush by sliding the puck under the pad of Everett goaltender Anders Miller to make it 1-0.
Kelowna extended their lead midway through the second frame as Will Sharpe (1) made a sharp move on the power play, holding off a shot before ripping it bar down for his first of the season. Pekar and Mazden Leslie picked up the assists on the goal.
Everett answered back shortly after, with Jesse Heslop (4) cutting the lead in half before Julius Miettinen (8) tied the game on a late second-period power play.
Just 37 seconds into the third, Rhys Jamieson (1) netted the eventual game-winner for the Silvertips. Despite several third-period power plays and sustained offensive pressure, the Rockets couldn't find the equalizer.
Pekar finished the night being named the Second Star of the Game with a goal and an assist, while Sharpe added a goal and was named the Third Star of the Game.
