The Kamloops Blazer faithful erupted when Chase Souto tipped in a Brendan Ranford wrist shot on the power play with 15 seconds left in overtime, giving the Blue and Orange a 6-5 win over the Kelowna Rockets on Monday, Jan. 28.

Brendan Ranford sent Colin Smith in on net with a deft pass and the Blazers' leading scorer notched a power-play goal with 22 seconds remaining in the third period to tie the game 5-5.

Ranford scored at 12:43 of the third period to bring the Blazers within one of the Rockets.

Tim Bozon, Cole Ully and JC Lipon were the other Kamloops goal scorers.
