GAME RECAP: Cristall nets four for Kelowna, Rockets win 5-2

KELOWNA, B.C. — Andrew Cristall netted four goals as the Rockets downed the Silvertips 5-2 in Kelowna.

After a scoreless first period, Gabriel Szturc opened the scoring for Kelowna 2:29 into the second with a powerplay goal. Cristall recorded a natural hat trick in the second period: completing a 2-on-1 rush at 9:22; another odd-man rush while at 4-on-4 play at 17:50; and at the conclusion of a powerplay from the high slot at 18:56.

Jackson Berezowski struck twice for the Silvertips in the third period, but Cristall potted his fourth of the night with six seconds remaining in regulation and the Tips net empty.

The Silvertips return home Friday night to host the Spokane Chiefs at 7 p.m. Tickets are available by clicking HERE.
