KAMLOOPS — Dylan Ernst made 31 saves for his first shutout of the season as the Kamloops Blazers blanked the Regina Pats 6-0 at Sandman Centre Friday night (Nov. 30).

Tommy Lafreniere and Emmitt Finnie had a goal and two assists each for the Blazers while Nathan Behm added a pair of his own as Kamloops snapped a four game losing streak.

Jordan Keller opened the scoring for the home team just past the five minute mark of the first period, before Finnie doubled the Blazers lead.

Goals from Behm, Lafreniere, and Kai Matthew had the Blazers up 5-0 after two periods, while Behm’s second of the game was the lone goal in the third period.
