The Penticton Vees got off to a hot start that would be too much to battle back for the West 麻豆精选 Warriors. In a 7-2 loss, the Warriors seemed to not be able to get any offence going on Penticton鈥檚 home ice.
Penticton鈥檚 top skaters were on point Friday night with Ottawa Senators prospect Luke Loheit tallying a goal and two assists, Lukas Sillinger scored two for the Vees, while goalie Derek Krall stopped 21 of 23 Warriors shots.
Mike Hardman and Chase Dubois scored the two Warriors goals but the Warriors offence struggled as much as the defence in the loss.
