Blazers celebrate after a Logan Barios OT winner on Saturday over Prince George/via Jon Keen
Another night, another overtime win for the Kamloops Blazers.
This time, the ice wasn’t tilted in the early stages as it was the night before.
Daylan Kuefler got the Blazers on the board first, a power play goal, his 14th of the season, late in the first, though Prince George would equalize in the second.
Kuefler would put the Blazers back up halfway through the 3rd, followed by a goal by Fraser Minten, his 13th of the campaign, less than two minutes later.
However, like the night before, Prince George would strike back.
Goals by Hudson Thornton and Jaxsen Wiebe would put the game into a 3-3 deadlock.
But also like the night before, the Blazers would answer.
Logan Barios notched his 4th of the season, with an assist from Dylan Sydor, to give the Blazers the 4-3 overtime win.
