The Kelowna Rockets beat the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-0 on Saturday night at Prospera Place.
Liam Kindree got things started for Kelowna in the second period.
Dillon Dube added to the Rockets lead in the middle frame to make it 2-0 Rockets.
With less than a minute left in the second period, Carson Twarynski notched a shorthanded goal and Kelowna headed into the final frame with a 3-0 lead.
James Hilsendager took a point shot that found its way through traffic to give the Rockets a 4-0 cushion.
The story of the evening belonged to Roman Basran.
It was the goaltender’s first start in net as a Western Hockey League (WHL) player.
He turned away 38 shots to record the shutout.
The effort earned him the “pie in the face treatment” with shaving cream from his teammates after the game.
The Rockets are back on the ice on Wednesday when they host the Prince George Cougars.
