The two didn't have to wait long to see each other again, they faced off last Wednesday at Prospera Place. See below for the recap of their last meeting.
Kelowna had a busy weekend, playing three games in as many nights. They kicked things off with a come-from-behind 4-3 shootout win over Vancouver on Friday at Prospera Place. They then headed to the US where they let a 4-0 lead slip away but were able to come away with a 5-4 overtime win over Spokane to secure their spot in the 2023 WHL Playoffs. Kelowna wrapped up the weekend with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Tri-City Americans at the Toyota Centre.
The Cougars also had a three-game weekend that saw them pick up at least a point in every game. They downed the Victoria Royals 8-3 on Friday and 6-3 on Saturday, on Sunday they fell 3-2 in overtime to the Vancouver Giants.
