Game one of a two-game series

LAST GAME vs Idaho: The Steelheads suffered their first loss of the season as the Salmon Kings tallied four straight goals in the first period and never looked back.

Warren McCutcheon opened the scoring at 7:19 into the first period and posted his first pro goal, and Kiel McLeod added to the scoreboard in a 3-on-3 situation. Milan Gajic grabbed a powerplay marker, and Wes Goldie jumped on a blueline pass between the Idaho defensemen and tallied a shorthanded goal.

McCutcheon added his second goal of the night for a Victoria 5-0 lead in the second period. It took Idaho 12:05 into the period before they lit the lamp. Francis Wathier earned an Idaho shorthanded goal, and Derek Nesbitt scored his third goal in two nights and closed the gap before the second intermission.

Colin Peters added another goal for Idaho, but Victoria padded their two goal lead. Guenette earned a power play goal with 4:50 remaining in regulation and Goldie rounded out the win for the Salmon Kings with his second score of the night.
