After a quick road trip to Everett, the Kelowna Rockets are back on home ice when they face the Prince George Cougars for the first time this season.

The Rockets fell to 0-3 to start the new season after a pair of losses over the weekend, a 2-1 defeat to the visiting Victoria Royals at Prospera Place on Friday before losing 6-3 to the Silvertips on Sunday.

Prince George has started the season 2-2, splitting their opening weekend with Spokane before defeating Vancouver 6-3 on Friday and losing to Wenatchee 4-2 on Sunday. The Cougars will get a boost to their lineup however, as top prospects Riley Heidt (Minnesota) and Terik Parascak (Washington) were both returned to the team for the remainder of the season from their NHL clubs.

ROCKETS ROSTER UPDATES

Rockets leading scorer Andrew Cristall (Washington) and leading goal scorer Tij Iginla (Utah) both remain with their NHL teams as does forward Max Graham (New Jersey).

ROCKETS TO WATCH

Michael Cicek has gotten off to a quick start this season, as the 20-year-old forward has registered three points in three games, including goals in back-to-back games against Victoria and Everett. Last season Cicek posted 39 points in 64 games and looks poised to surpass those totals if he keeps up his early season pace.

Jakub Stancl got into his first two games as a Rocket this past weekend, amassing an assist and six shots on goal. The 19-year-old was loaned to the team by the St. Louis Blues after the Rockets took him in the first round of the 2023 CHL Import Draft.
