Vees score 5 in middle frame to sink Warriors

There were plenty of positives from the West Kelowna Warriors performance on Tuesday night, but once again the Penticton Vees were too much to handle.

Although the Warriors had a lead after 20 minutes, the Vees would explode for five goals en route to a 5-2 road win.

John Evans opened the scoring for West Kelowna in the opening frame, scoring his first shorthanded goal of the season.

The 1-0 lead would last until the second, but that’s when the flurry of Vees goals began.

First it was Darwin Lakoduk, followed by Drew Elser and a pair by Jay O’Brien, a first-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2018.

Although Evans would make it a 4-2 game with his second of the night, Tyler Ho restored the Vees three-goal lead before the end of the period.

Penticton was able to control much of the play in the third period, quashing any hopes of a West Kelowna comeback and cruising to a 5-2 victory.

The Warriors return to action on Friday when another Okanagan rival, the Vernon Vipers, roll into town for a game at Royal LePage Place.
