Blazers down Americans 6-2 in Kennewick
KENNEWICK, WA — The Blazers picked up a 6-2 win on the road over the Tri-City Americans on Tuesday night, good for their fourth straight victory and sixth in their last seven games.
Three Blazer players had multi-goal games and five had at least two points. Kamloops outshot Tri-City 34-22, as Connor Ingram only needed to make 20 saves on the night after a combined 97 in the team’s two previous wins over Kelowna.
Matt Revel and Matt Needham each had two goals and an assist in the win, and Gage Quinney also found the back of the net twice in his return from a two-game suspension. Those three Blazer multi-goal-scorers were the game’s respective first, second and third stars of the night.
“When your down to your short strokes, it’s time that those guys step up, and they did a heck of a job”, Blazers Assistant Coach Mike Needham said on Radio NL, in regards to contributions from his veteran forwards late in the season.
