Brandon Wheat Kings News Release
Cranbrook, B.C. - The Brandon Wheat Kings dropped their third game in a row Wednesday night, losing 4-3 in overtime to the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook.
The game was the second of a season high 7-game road trip for the Wheat Kings, who lost 2-1 in Lethbridge on Tuesday.
Former Wheat King Jaeger White paced the Ice with two goals and an assist while Brandon got goals from three different shooters - forward Marcus Sekundiak and defencemen Chase Hartje and Zach Wytinck.
For all three Wheat Kings, Wednesday's goals were their first of the season and for Wytinck, it gave Brandon a shortlived 3-2 third period advantage.
Jonathon Smart and Peyton Krebs - with the overtime breakaway winner - rounded out the scoring for the Ice, who snapped a 6-game losing streak with the win.

The two teams traded four goals in the first and were scoreless in the second.
Brandon finished the night 1-5 on the man advantage while managing to kill off seven of eight Kootenay powerplays.
