EVERETT, WASH. — The Kamloops Blazers gave up five unanswered goals in a 6-3 defeat to the WHL-leading Everett Silvertips Friday (Feb. 6) night in Washington state.

The Blazers were up 3-1 in the second period, but they were unable to prevent the Silvertips from reaching the 40 win mark this season. Everett (40-6-2-1) has 83 points from 49 games, while Kamloops (24-17-6-4) is fifth in the Western Conference with 58 points from 51 games.

As they’ve done so often this season, the Blazers led early as JP Hurlbert and Nathan Behm scored just 20 seconds apart inside the game’s opening five minutes. Those goals had the visitors up 2-0 at the Angel of the Winds Arena.
