The Kamloops Blazers will be battling both bus legs and the hometown Everett Silvertips tomorrow (Nov. 26) at Xfinity Arena.
Kamloops picked up three out of a possible four points in WHL action on the weekend, topping the Prince George Cougars 4-1 at Interior Savings Centre on Friday before losing 2-1 in overtime to the hometown Spokane Chiefs on Sunday.
The Blazers left Spokane after Sunday’s tilt and arrived in the Tournament Capital yesterday at about 4:30 a.m. after the nearly 600-kilometre trek home.
There will be no rest for the weary, with the Blue and Orange set to load the bus tomorrow at about 10 a.m. and make the 420-kilometre journey to Everett.
Kamloops (11-10-3-2), which snapped a seven-game losing skid against the Portland Winterhawks on Nov. 19, now has points in four straight games.
Connor Ingram, 17, has made four consecutive starts between the pipes for the Blazers, owning the crease since relieving Cole Kehler, 16, in a 4-2 loss to Spokane at ISC on Nov. 14.
Ingram has stopped 133 of the 141 shots that have came his way since taking over.
It could be argued the only blemish on his resume of late was a mistake which led to the Chiefs’ OT winner, when he was caught out of position early in the extra frame on Sunday.
Cole Ully, 19, continues to pace the Blazers up front.
The Calgary product scored twice on the weekend and has 12 goals and 33 points in 23 games.
On the back end, Josh Connolly, 19, had four assists in Kamloops’ win on Friday.
