The Kelowna Rockets got back on track Friday night (Nov. 18) as they scored early and often in a 10-3 win over the Spokane Chiefs.
It was 3-0 for the Rockets after the first period as they got goals from Gabriel Szturc, Andrew Cristall, and Marcus Pacheco.
Is there anything Gabriel Szturc loves more than scoring on the power play? That's his team-leading sixth goal on the man advantage.
