Vees Grab Road Win

Penticton Vees News Release
The Penticton Vees jumped out to a three goal lead and didn't look back hanging on to a 3-2 victory over the Tri-City Americans.
The Vees climb to 10-7-2-2 on the season with the win.
For the second straight night the Vees grabbed the opening goal with Ethan Weber crashing in from the point and shoving home a powerplay goal for his third of the season at 6:31.
Ryden Evers added to the lead as he came flying off the bench and took a pass from Brady Birnie in the high slot and hammering a wrist-shot under the bar on the blocker side for his 12th goal of the year to make the score 2-0 heading into the first intermission.
The Vees would strike again 3:17 into the second period with Matteo Danis burying a rebound from the mouth of the crease for his 8th goal, putting Penticton up 3-0 after forty minutes.
The Vees had a couple of golden scoring chances early in the third but it would be Tri-City finally solving AJ Reyelts on a partial breakaway from David Krcal who shoved a puck through the Vees goaltender to make it 3-1.
The Americans would get within one on a scrabble play at the side of the net that was banked off Reyelts and in from Dylan LeBret for his second of the season.
Tri-City pushed hard for the equalizer but Reyelts and the Vees stood tall and held on for a 3-2 victory for their tenth win of the season.
Brady Birnie extended his points streak to four games with the assist on Evers' goal.
