BLAZERS RECAP

Blazers focus on cleaning up mistakes after missed opportunity against Silvertips

Nov 10, 2025 | 5:05 PM

KAMLOOPS — After a rest day on Sunday, the Kamloops Blazers hit the ice again Monday (Nov. 10).

The Blazers’ 4-3 overtime loss to the Western Conference-leading Everett Silvertips on Saturday was the focus at practice. They started Saturday’s game well and had a two goal comeback, but there was a three goal lapse in between as well.

“We had a fairly short period in the second period when we lost our way,” Blazers head coach and general manager Shaun Clouston said. “Some of the things that we’ve been working on that we knew were going to be important. For the most part, it was good, but we didn’t check very well during that stretch.

“Overtime and shootouts have been a problem for us. It’s something that we’re talking about, something that we’ll show some video on and discuss the game plan. It’s offense, but you still have to play defence and I don’t think we did a very good job with that.”

Despite the loss, the Blazers remain on a four-game point streak that had seen them pick up six out of a possible eight points. It’s a positive sign early in the year, but the Blazers are still trying to find the best version of themselves as prepare to host the Eastern Conference-leading Edmonton Oil Kings.

“I feel like we’re starting to come together. I feel like we’re doing a lot of good things,” said captain Ryan Michael. “I think for us now, it’s playing a full 60 (minutes). You know, we can’t have stretches when things get away from us.”

“For tomorrow against Edmonton, we’re looking to play a full 60 and play as hard as we can.”

The 14-4-1-1 Oil Kings boast a league-best 90 goals scored though the 8-7-2-2 Blazers are in fourth place with 77. Kamloops has also allowed 77 goals to Edmonton’s 58.

Puck drop on Tuesday is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., and following the game, fans will be able to skate with the Blazers at Sandman Centre.
