The Kelowna Rockets swept the weekend home-and-home series against the Penticton Vees, earning a 3-2 shootout victory on Saturday night at Prospera Place.

After Penticton opened the scoring in the first, the Rockets answered with two goals in the second period from Tomas Poletin and Kayden Longley. The Vees tied the game late in the frame on the power play, but neither side could find the winner through the third or overtime leading to the shootout.

Poletin, making his second WHL appearance, delivered once again, scoring on the power play in regulation and then netting the lone tally of the shootout to seal the win. Goaltender Josh Banini stopped all three Penticton shooters to secure the Rockets second straight victory and first victory of the season at home.
