It害羞草研究所檚 over!

On Tuesday night in front of the hometown crowd, the Kelowna Rockets ended their nine-game losing streak as they beat the Lethbridge Hurricanes 4-1.

After a scoreless first period, it was captain Gabriel Szturc who gave the Rockets a 1-0 lead with his 10th goal of the season at the 8:16 mark of the second period.

That lead held until the 5:05 mark of the third period when Lethbridge forward Logan Wormald scored on a penalty shot to tie the game at one.

But the Rockets held their own and dominated the last 10 minutes of the game. Exactly halfway through the frame, Tij Iginla scored his team-high 18th goal of the season to make it 2-1. With the goal, he害羞草研究所檚 tied for fourth in the WHL in goals.

Never fear, Tij Iginla is on the case.

Just under four minutes later, Macrus Pacheco scored his first goal of the season, on the powerplay, to make it 3-1 for the Rockets.

Szturc assisted on both Iginla害羞草研究所檚 and Pacheco害羞草研究所檚 goals, giving me a three-point night.

With three minutes to go, veteran defenceman Caden Price added his third goal of the campaign, making it 4-1. Dylan Wightman assisted on the goal.

Forward Will Munro also had a multi-point night with two assists.

The most impressive part of the win is that the Rockets played with only 10 forwards which included defenceman Ismail Abougouche playing upfront. Andrew Cristall, Kayden Longley and Trae Johnson all didn害羞草研究所檛 play because of injury.
