Brandon busts Blazers win streak in OT
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops hockey faithful got a little taste of why Stelio Mattheos was chosen to represent Team WHL in Monday’s Canada/Russia game at Sandman Centre.
Mattheos scored a pair for the Wheat Kings, including the overtime winner as the boys from Brandon halted the Blazers win streak at four with a 3-2 victory.
Zane Franklin opened the scoring for the home team in the first period with his 11th of the year from Orrin Centazzo and Luc Smith.
The Wheat Kings got on the board with just 9 seconds remaining in the second frame, when Mattheos bullied a puck past Dylan Ferguson on the Power Play.
