SALMON ARM B.C. – The West Kelowna Warriors pick up another victory on the road after defeating the Salmon Arm Silverbacks by a score of 4-1.
The Warriors would once again score the first goal of the game with Tyler Cristall taking a cross ice pass from Marcus Joughin to take a 1-0 lead on the powerplay.
Second period action the Warriors would score only 45 seconds in when Elan Bar Lev Wise generated a turnover inside the neutral zone allowing him to take off on a two on one with Felix Trudeau. Bar Lev Wise would score his 3rd of the postseason to make it 2-0 Warriors. Then over 10 minutes later that line of Trudeau, Bar Lev Wise and Farmer would add another with Trudeau scoring on the sharp angle to make it 3-0 Warriors after two.
The Silverbacks would score a much needed goal with 10:50 remaining in the 3rd courtesy of Zack Smith, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Warriors would restore momentum and the three goal lead with Nick Roukounakis scoring his 2nd of the playoffs of a great forecheck from Brennan Nelson and Marcus Joughin. The Warriors would skate off with a 4-1 victory.
FINAL SHOTS: 32-29 Warriors.
