Keller ‘backs’ hometown Blazers to comeback win over Giants
KAMLOOPS — Jordan Keller scored a no-look backhander while on his back to lead the Kamloops Blazers to a 5-4 overtime win over the Vancouver Giants Friday (Jan. 10) night.
The Kamloops native’s goal at 2:01 of overtime capped off a wild game at Sandman Centre that saw four of nine goals scored in the final 3:47 of action.
“It was a loose puck in front of the net and [Emmitt Finnie] tried to shoot it, and I think we both fell, and I just tried to get the puck to the net, and was lucky enough it went in,” Keller said post-game.
“I kind of blacked out obviously, it was a big goal. I’m glad we got the win.”
