Recap: VIC 3 - KEL 4 OT [Game 2]


Tyson Baillie scored his second of the night in overtime to lift the Kelowna Rockets past the visiting Victoria Royals 4-3 Saturday and take a 2-0 playoff series lead.

The goal came just :58 seconds into the extra frame, just as the Rockets power play expired.

Brandon Magee scored his second of the night for the Royals to force overtime, after clawing back from a 3-0 deficit.

“I thought we came out and played hard,” said Head Coach Dave Lowry after his club fell 5-0 one night earlier,

“We played with a lot of emotion, we brought a lot of passion.  This is what you need at playoff time, and obviously we’re disappointed with end result.”

Victoria out shot Kelowna 41-27, but Jackson Whistle made 38 saves for the win.

Coleman Vollrath started for the Royals and made 11 saves on 14 shots before Justin Paulic came in the second to go the distance, stopping 11 of 12.

Austin Carroll had 3 assists for Victoria, while Joe Hicketts chipped in with a pair.  Alex Forsberg rounded out the scoring for the Royals, as his line with Carroll and Magee provided 6 points.

Leon Draisaitl also had 3 assists, while Tomas Soustal and Gage Quinney provided the other goals for the Rockets.  Draisaitl now has 5 points in the two games.

Both clubs scored a pair of power play goals, Victoria was 2 for 5, while Kelowna was 2 for 8.

The Rockets led 1-0 after 20, and led 3-0 in the middle frame before Magee scored late in the second period to snap Kelowna’s home playoff shut out streak that nearly lasted 11 periods.  It was the first goal the Rockets allowed on home ice during the post season.

Whistle set the franchise record for a playoff shutout streak on home ice going 218:02.

The Royals lost forward Greg Chase with a game misconduct near the end of the first, while Rockets defenseman Josh Morrissey did not return after the first period.

Victoria returns home for games 3 and 4 Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Recap: VIC 0 - KEL 5



Josh Morrissey had 3 assists for the Kelowna Rockets, while Jackson Whistle made 20 saves to blank the visiting Victoria Royals 5-0 Friday night, taking a 1-0 best of seven playoff series lead in round two.

Netminder was Coleman Vollrath valiant in making 39 saves in the defeat as the Rockets outshot the Royals 44-20 on the night.

“We felt that for the few shots that we had, it was evenly matched in terms of quality scoring chances.”  said Head Coach Dave Lowry,

“We had opportunities to shoot the puck in prime scoring positions and we were looking for the pass.  This time of year the goals that go in if they’re greasy - you give yourself a chance to win and we didn’t put ourselves in that position.”

Whistle earned his 3rd shut out of the playoffs, as Kelowna has not allowed a single goal against in all 3 post season home games.  They also averaged 38 shots for in the first 4 games against the Americans.

After a scoreless first, the Rockets Tyson Baillie opened the scoring and Cole Martin added a second with just :22 seconds left in the middle frame.

“Give up a goal in the last minute of the second period, we were within one shot of giving ourselves a chance in the third.  We made a mistake and ended up paying for it….”  said Lowry on how the game got out of reach.

Gage Quinney made it 3-0 in the third before a pair of power play goals by Rourke Chartier during a 5 on 3, and Tomas Soustal in the final minute rounded out the scoring.

Tyson Baillie was the first star with a goal and an assist including the winner, while Edmonton Oilers 1st round pick Leon Draisaitl chipped in with a pair of helpers, including hitting two posts.

Winnipeg Jets first round pick, Josh Morrissey returned to the line up after being out since Feb. 28.

Jack Walker almost opened the scoring after hitting iron, moments before Baillie converted on a feed from Draisaitl.

Victoria was 0 for 4 with the man advantage, while Kelowna was 2 for 5.

“It got better,” said Lowry of the power play which improved as the night went along,

“Still, at this time of year it’s your top players and we need better execution.  We have to get back to doing the basics, and working, and putting pucks off the net.”

Game two goes Saturday night in Kelowna before returning to Victoria for games Tuesday and Wednesday.
