The Penticton Vees came out of the gates flying and didn’t look back cruising to an 8-0 victory at home over the Tri-City Americans.

The Vees climb to 13-8-4-3 on the season with the win.

Penticton used a heavy forecheck to open the scoring with Matteo Danis, who returned from injury, pushing the puck down the wall to Brady Birnie who wrapped it out front to Tristan Petersen. He put the puck high blocker for his seventh of the season.

Petersen made an impact again working a puck behind the net to Jacob Kvasnicka who found a wide open Ryden Evers out front and he made no mistake making the score 2-0. The Vees would add to their lead with Diego Johnson firing home a one-timer on a slick pass from Ethan Weber to send the game to the first intermission 3-0 Vees.
