Warriors without Cristall for game three of conference final

The West Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ Warriors will be without one of their top weapons this evening when they host the Penticton Vees.

Forward Tyler Cristall was handed a three-game suspension in game two of the BCHL conference final on April 30, called for a blow to the head major and misconduct.

The suspension comes at an inopportune time for West Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ and their second-highest scorer this postseason: The final buzzer on Saturday left the Warriors on the wrong side of a 6-0 score, to fall to a two-games-to-none deficit against the top-seeded Vees.

Penticton outscored West Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ 14-1 over the first two contests on the Vee’s home ice.

The series now shifts to the Warriors’ Royal LePage Place for game three tonight. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.

West Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ won three of the four games against the Vees played at home during the regular season.
