EVERETT, Wash. - The Everett Silvertips dominated possession throughout the game Sunday afternoon, putting up six goals on 53 shots in a victory over the Kelowna Rockets.

Bear got a goal of his own 27 seconds into the second period, with helpers from Rymon and Tarin Smith. Brett Calhoon responded with a Kelowna goal three minutes into the second. The eventual game-winner came off the stick of Julien Maze, capping off a crisp cross-zone passing play from Tyler MacKenzie and Landon DuPont for his second of the season. Michael Cicek scored for Kelowna for a 4-2 score after two.
