CALGARY — The Kamloops Blazers galloped on through during their final trip to the Saddledome in Calgary.
After beginning their three-game Alberta road trip with a victory in Edmonton, the Blazers defeated the Calgary Hitmen on the road Sunday (Nov. 1) 3-2 in a shootout.
Eli Tverdovsky’s pass up the middle went off a Hitmen skate and in to give the Blazers a 1-0 lead nearly halfway through the game, although the Hitmen would answer back later in the second period.
The Blazers retook the lead on an improbable occasion. On a Hitmen power play, a pass to the point went outside the Blazers zone. Gavin Nemis was first to get on it, and he passed to Calgary-native Owen Cooper on the rush to give the Blazers a shorthanded goal and a 2-1 lead.
