Preview: Tri City at Victoria, Sunday Oct 6th, 2013

The Victora Royals (3-5) open a 5 game homestand with an afternoon matinee against the Tri City Americans (2-4-0-1) Sunday afternoon.

Pregame show at 12:45 on The Zone @ 91.3fm or online at www.thezone.fm

It’s their first encounter this year, while last season the Royals took 3 of 4 games, falling once in overtime to the Americans.

Victoria returns home after sporting a .500 record on their recent 4 game BC Division road trip.  They started with a win in Kelowna, a split in Prince George and most recently dropping a 4-3 decision to Kamloops Friday.

The Royals who outshot the Blazers 33-23 got a goal and assist from Logan Nelson, with singles from Joe Hicketts and Austin Carroll.  Brandon Magee and Brett Cote both chipped in with a pair of helpers. Nelson’s line with Carroll and Magee combined for 5 points.

The Royals penalty kill did not allow a goal during the 4 game road trip (15/15).

The Americans find themselves 2 games under .500 after kicking off their 3 game road trip with a 2-0 loss against the Silvertips Friday night.  Tri City outshot Everett 29-27, but could not solve Austin Lotz and are now 1-2 on the road.

American’s netminder Ty Comrie (WPG ’13), has started in all 7 games.  18 year old Forward Brian Williams leads the club in scoring with 8 goals and 11 points in 7 games – including 2 hat tricks.  Their top 2 scorers from last year have moved on in Justin Feser (106pts) and Malte Stromwall (66pts).

Playing their 4th game in 6 days, Victoria will look for their first home win of the season Sunday afternoon against Tri City.
