Daylan Kuefler scored twice while Logan Stankoven had three assists as the Kamloops Blazers beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Connor Levis, Matthew Seminoff, and Ethan Brandwood also scored for the Blazers while Nate Danielson and Logan Hammett found the back of the net for the Wheat Kings who made their first trip to Kamloops since 2018.
Kuefler opened the scoring late in the first period with Danielson tying the game early in the second. Kuefler then put the Blazers back on top midway through the second, with Levis scoring what would be the game winner about five minutes later.
Logan Hammett made it a one goal game midway through the third period before goals from Seminoff and Brandwood put the game out of Brandon’s reach.
Dylan Ernst made 31 saves to earn his fourth win of the season, while backup Michael Schnattinger made one save during his 94 second cameo in the third period while Ernst dealt with an equipment issue.
Carson Bjarnson made 40 saves in a losing effort.
Next up for Kamloops is a showdown with the Winnipeg Ice this Friday night, Oct. 21, for a 7 p.m. game. The Ice are the top-ranked team in the CHL, while the Blazers have dropped a couple spots to number seven.
