The Penticton Vees opened the scoring on Friday night at the SOEC but ultimately fell to the WHL leading Everett Silvertips by a 6-3 score. 

The Vees fall to 41-14-5-4 on the season. 

Brittan Alstead got the Vees on the board first with a beautiful behind-the-back move that he finished off with a backhand five-hole to make it 1-0. 

Everett would tie the game a couple of minutes later on a glove-high shot from Lukas Kaplan to make it 1-1 heading into the break. 

The Silvertips struck four times in nine minutes in the second period including a shorthanded goal from Kayd Ruedig to make the score 5-1. 

Ethan Weber picked up his own rebound off the post and fired home his 12th of the year to make it 5-2 heading into the final frame. 

The Vees pushed in the third and got it within two as Alstead struck on a powerplay for his second of the night and 20th of the season but the Silvertips would score into an empty net to make the final 6-3.
