Calvin Thurkauf scored twice and Kelowna rattled off four straight goals en route to thier victory over the Hurricanes.

Gordie Ballhorn, Kole Line, Thomas Soustal and Jordan Borstmayer had the other goals for the Rockets (2-4-0).

Colton Kroeker, Jesse Zaharichuk and Tyler Wong scored for Lethbridge (3-2-0).
 
The two teams matched each other for shots-on-goal at 27 apiece. However, Kelowna racked up 27 penalty minutes to Lethbridge’s 19.
 
The night’s three Stars: 3 – Tyler Wong (1G),  2 – Tomas Soustal (1G, 1A),  1- Calvin Thurkauf (2G, 1A).
