Baillie breaks Blazers back with shootout winner.

Rookie Tyson Baillie continues to turn heads during the pre-season. The 16 year-old scored the shootout winner Saturday night in the Kelowna Rockets 5-4 win over the Kamloops Blazers, improving their exhibition record to 4 and 0. Baillie now leads the Rockets in pre-season scoring with 7 points (3+4=7).
Colton Heffley scored twice in regulation while Austin Ferguson and Carter Rigby added singles.
Jordon Cookie earned the win in goal.
Spencer Main wore the 'C' as Colton Sissons, who had been the captain the last three games, was not in the lineup.
Rookie defenceman Madison Bowey did not play after being hurt in Friday's 3-2 win in Kamloops.
Nineteen year-old Mitchell Chapman was the most physical player on the ice with some hard hits. The only fight of the game came in the third period when Tyrell Goulbourne danced with Blazer 17 year-old Chase Souto.
