The Rockets couldn香蕉视频直播檛 take advantage of four powerplay opportunities in the first period.
Kelowna netminder Tayln Boyko made 35 saves on the loss.
The Rockets played much better than a sweep indicated. Boyko and Jari Kykkanen combined to make 144 saves on 156 shots, good enough for a .923 save percentage.
Last night was also the end of road for forwards Carson Golder and Adam Kydd, as well as Boyko, as their junior career came to an end after aging out.
Congratulations to our graduating twenty-year-old players on their junior careers.
