Keith Hamilton made a spectacular glove save in the shoot out on the Thunderbirds leading scorer Blake Gallimore, and in the 2nd stoning Hickman on a 2 on 1. Hamilton made 33 saves, and is now to 2-2 in shoot outs. Calvin Pickard picks up his 12th win of the season on a 35 save performance. It was the final meeting of the season, Victoria’s record versus Seattle 1-1-0-2.
Victoria went 3 for 6 with the man advantage while Seattle went 1 for 8. The Royals wrap up 4 games in 5 nights, and with the extra point move one point past the Rockets for sole possesion of 3rd in the division. Kelowna has 3 in hand.
Now they’ll swing up to Edmonton Wednesday to avenge an 8-2 home ice loss back on November 8th. Then next Friday in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat Saturday before the breaking for Christmas.
