Preview: Vancouver at Victoria (Jan 25)

Riding a team high 5 game win streak, the Victoria Royals entertain the Vancouver Giants for a pair of games Friday and Saturday night.

The Royals will look to tie the franchise record of 6 consecutive victories, held by the 2011 Chilliwack Bruins.

It’s the 7th of 10 season meetings with Victoria holding a 4-2 advantage after defeating Vancouver on the road 6-2 last Friday.  That win gave the club a franchise setting 50 points in 44 contests, 6 games quicker than the 2010 Bruins.  Victoria now has one more win than all of last season with 25.

The Giants have dropped their last 4, sit 10th in the Conference 15 points out of a playoff spot.  They fell 4-0 Sunday against the visiting Everett Silvertips, and 5-3 the night before in Kelowna wrapping up 3 in 3 nights 0-3.

The Royals are 6th in the West, 6 back of 5th place Tri City with 3 games in hand.

Victoria opens a 3 game homestand after returning home with a pair of road victories, most recently 5-4 in Kamloops Saturday, winning at the Interior Savings Centre for the first time since the club relocated from Chilliwack.

The victory was their 10th come from behind this season, the most in the league.  Over the weekend, Patrik Polivka earned his 21st win, one more than Keith Hamilton’s 20 in all of last season.

The line of Steven Hodges, Brandon Magee and Alex Gogolev, clicked for 14 points in the two games and Gogolev was named CHL Player of the Week for his 12 points including (3g 9a) in 4 games for the week ending January 20. Gogolev becomes the first player in Victoria Royals team history to receive the WHL & CHL Player of the Week award.

Steven Hodges is riding a league high 5 game goal scoring streak with 8 goals and 2 assist for 9 points.  Gogolev is riding a 6 game streak with 3 goals and 12 assists and 15 points and is just 2 points shy of the 57 (25g-32a) he posted last season with the Hitmen.

Magee is on a 6 game point streak, with 3 goals 6 assists and 9 points.

The Royals power play has improved to 8th best in the league, operating at 40% over their last 6 games (14/35).

At home the club has 15 wins in 22 games (15-5-1-1), while the Giants have 4 wins in 23 games on the road.

Victoria welcomed the 5 days in between games as they nurse some injuries:  Logan Nelson (Lower, 2-3 weeks), Ben Walker (Upper, day to day), Luke Harrison (Upper, indefinite), Jamie Crooks (Upper, day to day), Trent Lofthouse (Upper, day to day).

After Vancouver Friday and Saturday, Victoria entertains Prince Albert Tuesday.

ROYALS’ ALEX GOGOLEV NAMED DENNY’S WHL PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Veteran sniper notches 12 points in four games.

For Immediate Release

Monday, January 21, 2013

Victoria, BC – The Western Hockey League today announced that Victoria Royals’ forward Alex Gogolev has been named the Denny’s WHL Player of the Week.

Gogolev, a 20-year-old Moscow native, recorded 12 points (3g-9a) over the Royals’ four games last week to go along with four penalty minutes and a plus-two rating on his way to the honour. Gogolev becomes the first player in Victoria Royals team history to receive the Denny’s WHL Player of the Week award. Most recently, Gogolev recorded four points (1g-3a) in the Royals’ 5-4 win against the Kamloops Blazers on January 19^th.

The Russian forward is currently enjoying the most productive month of his WHL career and has notched 19 points (3g-16a) through nine January games so far. His team-leading 55 points (16g-39a) in 42 games played place Gogolev 15^th overall in WHL scoring.

Drafted by the Calgary Hitmen in the second round, 63^rd overall, of the 2011 CHL Import Draft, the Royals acquired the left winger last September in a trade that sent forward Zane Jones to Calgary. Gogolev sits just two points shy of the 57 points (25g-32a) he posted last season with the Hitmen.

Recap: Victoria 5 - Kamloops 4

Brandon Magee had 2 goals including the winner.

Alex Gogolev had a 4 point night as the Victoria Royals (25-17-1-2, 53pts) won 5-4 on the road against the Kamloops Blazers (30-14-2-3, 65pts).

Brandon Magee scored the final two goals in the third period as the Royals came from behind to win for a 10th time when trailing after 40 minutes.

Tyler Stahl and Patrik Polivka were stalwarts all night

It was the first time the club has won in Kamloops since relocating to Victoria.  The Royals win their team record 5th straight, and 3rd victory over the Blazers in a span of 5 days.

“It’s a huge win for us, especially in this building…coming back, getting the victory is huge – it’s a great way to end a 4 game week with 8 points.” Enio Sacilotto, Royals Assistant Coach

Victoria takes a 4-3 series lead, and wraps up a 4 game in 5 night stretch, winning all 4.  They’ll meet once more March 5th in Kamloops.

Kanzig vs Edmundson

Matt Needham opened the scoring collecting a rebound after a point shot changed direction several times.  The Royals Brandon Fushimi scored his 3rd of the year just 9 seconds later to even the score.  Patrik Polivka would make 17 stops to keep the game even at 1 after 1.

Steven Hodges would give Victoria their first lead of the game in the 2nd period, batting the puck between his legs through Kozun for his 19th.  Alex Gogolev would then convert on the power play to give the Royals a 3-1 lead.  Kamloops would respond with 3 goals in a span of 1:43.  Marek Hrbas on the power play, and then a pair by Needham collecting the hat trick in the process to give the Blazers a 4-3 lead heading into the third.

Brandon Magee would tie the game and then give the Royals the lead, both on the power play.  Polivka would rob Kale Kessey on a short handed breakaway and weather a late surge by Kamloops for the 5-4 victory.

Patrik Polivka was busy in the first stopping 17 of 18, and 28 in total on his way to his 21st win, the most by a goaltender in Royals team history.  Taran Kozun started, but was replaced after allowing 4 goals on 15 shots.  Cole Cheveldave stopped 5 of 6 in relief.

The Royals celebrate their 5th consecutive win

The Royals power play continues to produce, going 3 for 10 on the night and 14 for 35 (40%) over their last 6 games.  Sacilotto was pleased with the man advantage,

“Real good to get hot again on the power play, we all know special teams win or lose games for you, tonight’s a perfect example of how the power play won the game for us.”

Steven Hodges has scored in each of his last 5 games, now 8 goals in that stretch and 9pts (8g 1a).  Alex Gogolev had a goal and 3 assists, extending his point streak to 6 games (3g 12a) and 15 points. Brandon Magee with two goals and assist extends his point streak to 6 games (3g 6a) with 9 points.  The line of Hodges, Magee and Gogolev combined for 8 points.  Austin Carroll and Brett Cote chipped with with 2 assists, Cote also had a pair the night before in Vancouver.

The Royals saw Mitch Deacon return to the lineup, but played without 5 members due to injury. Logan Nelson (Lower, 3-4 weeks), Ben Walker (Upper, 3-7 days), Luke Harrison (Upper, indefinite), Tim Traber (Lower, 5-7 days), and Jamie Crooks.  15yr old Tyler Soy played his 4th WHL game.

Victoria is 6th in the Conference and remains 4 points back of 5th place Tri City who won in overtime in Spokane. 

The Royals return home to entertain the Giants for a pair next Friday and Saturday.
