Keegan Kolesar scored with just 20 seconds remaining in the third period to lift the Seattle Thunderbirds over the Kelowna Rockets in WHL playoff action Tuesday night at Prospera Place.

The Thunderbirds now lead the best-of-seven Western Conference championship two games to one.

After Calvin Thurkauf scored at 13:53 of the third period to tie the game 1-1, it looked like the game was headed for overtime.

But Kolesar香蕉视频直播檚 second of the night, a wrist shot from the right face-off circle, beat Michael Herringer at 19:40 for the game winner.

The Rockets controlled play much of the night, outshooting Seattle 35-14 but were stymied time and again by 17-year-old rookie goaltender Cal Stankowski.

On their seventh power play of the night, a 5-on-3, the Rockets finally broke through when Thurkauf batted a puck out of the air past Stankowksi for his seventh of the playoffs.

The play was reviewed for a possible high-stick by Thurkauf but, after a four-minute delay, the goal was allowed to stand.

Still, in the end, Rockets head coach Jason Smith said club香蕉视频直播檚 effort wasn香蕉视频直播檛 good enough.
