Blazers Late Push Not Enough in 4-3 Loss in Everett

Feb 6, 2016 | 11:55 AM

EVERETT – The Kamloops Blazers almost erased a 4-1 third period deficit, but fell short in a 4-3 loss to the Everett Silvertips on Friday night in Everett. 

The Silvertips built a 1-0 lead in the first period. Goaltender Dylan Ferguson made the initial save on Dario Winkler, but Winkler got the rebound and scored his fourth goal of the year. 

The Blazers best chance came off the stick of Matt Revel. Revel had an open net, but goaltender Carter Hart made a sprawling glove save to keep the Blazers off the scoreboard. 

The ‘Tips led 1-0 through one period with the Blazers leading in the shot department 11-8. 

It was a strong second period for the ‘Tips as they scored twice to take a 3-0 lead.

Patrick Bajkov redirected a pass from Dawson Leedahl through Ferguson 49 seconds into the period to make it 2-0. 

Leedahl finished off an odd man rush less than two minutes later as the ‘Tips held a three goal lead for most of the period. 

Gage Quinney scored for the Blazers. He battled in front of the net and eventually helped the puck just get over the line as the Blazers trailed 3-1 through two periods. 

The Blazers pushed in the third period, but it was the ‘Tips with the next goal off the stick of Matt Fonteyne. 

Deven Sideroff would make things interesting scoring a power play goal with 4:34 to play to make it a 4-2 deficit.

Sideroff added another power play marker with the goaltender pulled with 36 seconds left in the game. 

Collin Shirley had a chance to tie it in the dying seconds, but missed wide as the Blazers lost 4-3. 

The Blazers finished 2-for-5 on the power play, while the ‘Tips were 0-for-2. The ‘Tips outshot the Blazers 32-30 in the game. 

The Blazers are home Saturday night for a 5:00pm game against the Edmonton Oil Kings to celebrate Hockey Day in Canada in Kamloops.
