At Kelowna, a scoreless game went to a shootout to determine the winner, with the Oil Kings taking the two points.

Edmonton started its trip with a 3-2 win in Prince George on Nov. 19, but lost three days later, 5-3, in Victoria on Nov. 22. The next night, Vancouver edged the Oil Kings 5-4 in overtime.
Edmonton closes out it road trip Wednesday night in Kamloops.
In the shootout, Kelowna (13-8-1-2) went 0-for-3, as Mark Liwiski, Nolan Foote and Leif Mattson were all denied.
Sebastian Cossa stopped all 21 shots he faced for Edmonton, while Roman Basran turned aside all 27 shots for Kelowna.
The Oil Kings were 0-for-3 on the power play while the Rockets were 0-for-4.
Kelowna is back in action on Saturday, as they host Prince George (6-16-0-2). Game time at Prospera Place is 7 p.m., and fans are asked to bring a stuffed animal for the team’s annual teddy bear toss.
When Kelowna scores its first goal, fans can throw their stuffed animal onto the ice, where they will be collected, then donated to children in the paediatric ward and elderly patients in the rehabilitation ward at Kelowna General Hospital on Sunday morning.
Saturday’s contest will be the Rockets’ only home game for the next two-and-a-half weeks, as next week the club will embark on its annual Eastern Conference road trip in December.
Kelowna will visit Prince Albert on Dec. 6, Saskatoon on Dec. 7, Brandon on Dec. 10, Winnipeg on Dec. 11, Regina on Dec. 13 and, lastly, Moose Jaw on Dec. 14 before returning home and hosting Vancouver on Dec. 18.
The home game against the Giants will be Kelowna’s last game before the league’s annual Christmas break.
