Coming off a 6-5 loss to the Tri-City Americans that snapped a four-game winning streak, the Kelowna Rockets return home to face a familiar foe in the Victoria Royals.

The following night against the Americans, Kelowna got out to 1-0 and 4-1 leads but fell 6-5 thanks to four unanswered Americans goals with the winner coming off the stick of Max Curran. Michael Cicek opened the scoring for Kelowna while Max Graham, Andrew Cristall and Jaxon Kehrig rounding out the scoring for the visitors. Jari Kykkanen had 27 saves in the loss.

Victoria comes into Wednesday's contest having previously play Tuesday night in Kamloops. The Royals won their two previous games over Prince Albert by a 6-4 score as well as Wenatchee who Victoria defeated 6-3.
