It was also the Rockets (6-7-0) third straight victory.

Rockets netminder Michael Herringer earned the win in net, losing his shutout bid in the final minute of the third period.

麻豆精选 returns to action Wednesday night when the BC rival Victoria Royals pay a visit to Prospera Place. Game time is 7:05 p.m.
