Tyson Baillie and Leon Draisaitl led the way offensively as both players scored twice and added two helpers apiece in the win.

Rockets captain Madison Bowey and defenceman Josh Morrissey also scored for the Rockets while Riley Stadel and Dillon Dube chipped in with two assists apiece.

The Rockets are now 2-0-0-0 on its three game homestand and will close it out on Wednesday night at Prospera Place when the Kamloops Blazers visit Kelowna.

Following that game the Rockets will head to Victoria for a pair of games next weekend.
