KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Fraser Minten s power-play goal midway through the third period proved to be the difference as the Kamloops Blazers edged the Victoria Royals 3-2 on Friday in Western Hockey League play.
Matthew Seminoff and Connor Zary also scored to help the Blazers (10-2-0) to a third straight win.
Brayden Schuurman and Brandon Cutler found the back of the net for the Royals (1-11-1), who are on an eight-game skid.
Kamloops netminder Dylan Ernst only had to make 14 saves for the win. Adam Evanoff kicked out 31-of-34 shots for Victoria.
CALGARY The Calgary Hitmen only have 10 games left in the regular season so like they say, every game counts. Especially when you re an aspiring NHLer and it s your draft year. Eighteen-year-old goaltender Brayden Peters fits into that category but Peters prefers to take the games one day at a time. Playing goal is a pressure-packed position when your draft status isn t at stake, and Peters doesn t want to put any more pressure on himself. I haven t really focused on it too much and it s something I can t really control, Peters said in an interview with CTV News. I just control how I play and what I do night in and night out and working on whatever it is in practice and trying to progress myself to get to that next step and see what happens this summer with the draft coming up here.
