The Vees fall to 29-10-4-3 on the season with the loss and see their winning streak halted at 14 games.

The Blazers struck twice in the first period. First, on the powerplay on a deflection from Josh Evaschesen and then Ty Bonkowski scored on a rebound to make it 2-0 heading into the first intermission.

Kamloops would add to their lead in the second period as Evaschesen batted home his second goal of the night to make it 3-0 after 40 minutes.

The Vees battled back in the third period.

Matteo Danis collected a rebound and potted it home for his 20th of the season to make the score 3-1 at 5:10. Then, with the goaltender pulled, Ethan Weber extended his point streak to eight games burying a shot off a scramble in front of the net to make it 3-2 with 2:12 remaining.

The Vees had some extended pressure looking for the equalizer but Kamloops was able to strike twice into the empty net to make the final 5-2.
