KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Blazers defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds 10-1 Wednesday night for their highest scoring victory since a 10-4 win over Prince George in March 2012.

It didn’t start out looking like a rout, with only one goal in the first period — Logan Stankoven’s sixth.

Seattle looked like it was getting back in the game when former Blazer Keltie Jeri-Leon beat Dylan Garand. But when Connor Zary scored a shorthanded goal to make it 3-1, the flood gates came down.

Ryan Hughes, Martin Lang and Zane Franklin on the power play made it 6-1 after two.

It got worse for the Thunderbirds in the third — Franklin scored his second, another on the power play, Connor Zary finished off his hattrick with another one on the power play.

Montana Onyebuchi scored back to back goals to complete the scoring.

POST GAME: Head coach Shaun Clouston on the 10-goal output

His first came when he shot the puck down the ice from the right of his own net on a penalty kill — Seattle goaltender Blake Lyda whiffed it, and it was in the net — that’s the way the night went for the Thunderbirds.

With a 10-1 win, the Blazers jump over idle Everett and into first place in the Western Conference.
