Just 31 seconds away from getting back in the win column, the Kelowna Rockets weren't able to secure the win, eventually falling 4-3 in a shootout to the Victoria Royals. 

In the first period, the two teams exchanged goals as Royals' Justin Kipkie opened the scoring but Rockets captain Max Graham tied the game just over a couple minutes later.

Kipkie's goal was assisted by Teydon Trembecky and Brayden Boehm while Graham's was assisted by Andrew Cristall and Jackson Gillespie.

Just 32 seconds into the second period, Rockets rookie Levi Benson scored on a breakaway to make it 2-1.

At the 5:06 mark of the frame, the game would become deadlocked once again as Victoria's Vaughn Watterodt scored his second goal of the game, unassisted.

The game remained tied 2-2 until the 8:20 mark of the third period when Cristall ripped home a power-play goal, assisted by Caden Price and Jakub Stancl, giving the Rockets the lead once again.

But late in the game with the extra attacker out of the ice, Cole Reschny came up clutch for the Royals, scoring with just 32 second left in regulation to tie the game 3-3 and force overtime.

After overtime didn't settle anything, the game went to a shootout. Cristall and Reschny exchanged goals, but they were followed up by two missed on each side, meaning extra shooters were needed. In the fourth round of the shootout, Boehm scored for Victoria while Stancl wasn't able to find the back of the net, giving the Royals the 4-3 win.
