With four straight wins under their belts to start the new year, the Okanagan Rockets will head to the coast this weekend for action.

In a battle of fourth-place teams, the Rockets will visit the Vancouver Northwest Giants for a doubleheader, Saturday in North Vancouver and Sunday in Burnaby.

The Rockets (15-9-3-1) and Giants (16-12-1-1) currently share fourth spot with 34 points, with Okanagan holding two games in hand.

The Rockets are coming off a sweep of the Kootenay Ice last weekend in Trail.

On Saturday, Ben King scored his second of the game with 27 seconds left in overtime to send the Rockets to a 4-3 victory.

On Sunday, another one-goal game saw the Rockets edge Kootenay 3-2 on Rayman Bassiº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s winner with four minutes remaining.

Cole Schwebius was solid, picking up both victories in the Rocketsº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ net.

The Rockets, who are playing four consecutive weekends on the road, will return home to CNC Feb. 24 and 25 when they take on the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds.
