KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Blazers dropped their third straight game Wednesday (Jan. 22) in a 6-3 loss at home to the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Tommy Lafreniere put back a rebound to give the Blazers an early 1-0 lead in the first period. Even after the Wheat Kings tied the game five minutes later, the Blazers responded with Max Sullivan tipping home a backhand pass from John Szabo to retake the lead.
However, four unanswered goals allowed would dig the Blazers a hole too steep for them to crawl out of. Blazers captain Emmitt Finnie drove to the net to cut the deficit to 5-3 after two periods, but the Wheat Kings would add one more into the empty net late to secure the 6-3 win.
The Blazers fall to 15-24-3-0 on the 2024-25 Western Hockey League (WHL) season, good for 33 points in 42 games. They sit last in the B.C. Division and 10th in the WHL Western Conference, trailing the Kelowna Rockets for the eighth and final playoff spot by three points.
