Oct 18, 2019 | 10:30 PM

KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Blazers extended their win and shutout streak defeating the Vancouver Giants 6-0.

Logan Stankoven opened the scoring with his fourth of the season from Martin Lang and Montana Onyebuchi at 6:03 of the first period.

Just over two minutes later and on the power play, Connor Zary won a faceoff to set up Zane Franklin for his fourth of the season. With the assist, Zary extended his points streak to the first eleven games of the season.

Before the first was over, they’d add another one — Quinn Schmiemann from Franklin and Caedan Bankier.
