Victoria visits Seattle on Saturday
The Saskatoon Blades made their pandemic-delayed first visit to Blanshard Street in more than four years count with a 6-4 Western Hockey League victory over the Victoria Royals on Friday night before 3,336 fans at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre.
Victoria got three back consecutively to start a spirited four-goal second period. But even with the wild swings associated with junior hockey, the gaping first-period deficit proved too hard to overcome against the big, deep and relentless Blades . Victoria leading scorer Jake Poole, making a return to the lineup after injury, scored his 28th and 29th goals for the Royals and Tanner Scott nothced his third goal in two games. Carter Dereniwsky scored the other Royals goal. Victoria outshot Saskatoon 35-27 but, to paraphrase the Bard, it was all desperate sound and fury after the hapless start and signified not enough on the scoreboard.
