It was a tough weekend for the Kelowna Rockets, who lost two games in Washington State.

On Friday night, they fell in a back-and-forth game 8-5 to the Spokane Chiefs and followed that up with a 4-0 loss to the Wenatchee Wild on Saturday night.

Rockets forward Andrew Cristall collected a hat trick in the second period of the game. However, the league reviewed the goal after the game and rewarded his hat trick goal to Michael Cicek.

Despite the goal being taken away from Cristall, he is still third in the league in points with 28 (10 goals, 18 assists) in just 13 games.

Saturday night didnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t go the Rockets way either, as they were blanked by the WHLÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s newest team.

With the two losses, the Rockets fell to fifth in the Western Conference with a 7-6-1 record.

The Rockets are back at home this Friday and Saturday (Nov. 3 and 4) as they welcome the Victoria Royals and Red Deer Rebels to town. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. both nights.
