The Kelowna Rocketsº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ WHL winless streak reached four games with a 2-1 loss to the Tri-City Americans Tuesday night in Kennewick, Wash.

The Rockets (4-4-1-1), who were playing their fourth game in five nights, put in a much improved effort after an 8-2 loss Sunday night against the Winterhawks in Portland.

Nolan Yaremko scored both Americansº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ goals, with his second of the game at 12:24 of the third period putting the Ams ahead 2-0.

With Tri-Cityº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s Jordan Topping serving a five-minute major for boarding and the Rocketsº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ net empty, Dillon Dube put Kelowna on the board with his fourth of the season at 18:25.

The Rockets finished the game on the power play but were unable to beat Amº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s goalie Beck Warm who made 33 saves in the game.

James Porter stopped 22 shots in the Kelowna goal.

The Rockets will return to home ice this weekend for a doubleheader against the Portland Winterhawks.

Game time both Saturday and Sunday at Prospera Place is 7:05 p.m.
