Night 68

In Penticton the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (21-11-1) and the Vees (23-10-1-1) each recorded their first tie of the season with a 2-2 draw. Three of the four goals of the game were scored in the first period with Salmon Arm holding 1-0 and 2-1 leads with a pair of goals from Bryce Gervais. The 1992 born center's second marker was goal of the year material with a Pavel Datsyuk-esk deke to finish off his breakaway. Josh Manson assisted on both goals thanks to great up-ice passes. After Penticton tied the game in the second period Salmon Arm had four powerplays including one in overtime but didn't score and finished one-for-six on the PP while the Peaches scored on their lone powerplay in the opening frame. Both goaltenders were sensational with both Kris Moore and Joel Rumpel each recording 38 saves. The Silverbacks were a perfect 3-0 in extra time coming in while the Vees were 4-1.
