KELOWNA, B.C. – The WHL Kelowna Rockets ended a three game losing streak Wednesday night with a 4-3 OT win against the US division leading Everett Silvertips.

Lucas Johansen sealed the win just a minute into overtime.

Overtime came courtesy of a last minute empty netter by Everett’s Riley Sutter, a 6’3″, 200 lb Calgary native who has scored six goals this season.

Nolan Foote scored his first WHL career goal and was rewarded with a pie to the face during the post game interviews outside the locker rooms at Prospera Place.
