Blazers and Thunderbirds heading to game 7 after Seattle stays alive on home ice

It will all come down to a do-or-die game seven on Tuesday.

The Western Conference final is going the distance after the Seattle Thunderbirds knocked off the Kamloops Blazers 2-1 on home ice Sunday night.

Jared Davidson and Lukas Svejkovsky scored for Seattle in the must-win game six, while Kobe Verbicky was the only goal scorer for Kamloops.


Verbicky gave the Blazers a 1-0 lead nearly 13 minutes into the game as he tipped a puck through Thomas Milic’s legs for his first goal of the postseason.

In the second period, Davidson took a beautiful pass from Svejkovsky and wired a one-timer past Dylan Garand to tie things up at one.

The score stayed that way until the third, when the two Thunderbirds who teamed up for the team’s first goal got together for another one.

The dynamic duo weaved over the line and Svejkovsky took a drop pass from Davidson before dangling Quinn Schmiemann, breaking in alone on Garand and beating him with a backhand deke.

Milic shut the door from then on and Seattle was able to hold on for a vital 2-1 win to force a seventh game in Kamloops.

Game seven goes at 7 pm Tuesday at Sandman Centre and tickets are now available online or in-person at the Blazers box office.
