The Kelowna Rockets were in action on Saturday, this time taking on the Vancouver Giants in Langley. 

Kelowna couldn't get anything going during the fourth game of the season, this time falling by a score of 2-1. Vegas Golden Knights prospect Jesper Vikman stopped all 23 shots he faced en route to his second shutout of the season. 

Following a scoreless first period, Justin Lies put the Giants up one in the second frame. That was followed by a Ty Thrope insurance marker in the second to seal the win. 

Colby Knight made his second straight start for the Rockets. He stopped 27 of the 29 shots he faced on the night. 

Kelowna went 0/3 on the power play in the loss. On a positive note, their penalty kill was a perfect 5/5. 

The Rockets won't have to wait long to face the Giants again as they will have a rematch with them on Friday in the Langley Events Centre. Puck drop is a 7:30 pm.
