It’s estimated at least half the roster was suffering from illness entering Wednesday night’s game in Armstrong. Add to that a couple of key injuries, leaving a 5-2 loss to North Okanagan not all that surprising of a result.
Osoyoos trailed 2-0 in the first period, before Ethan McKinley connected to make it 2-1 after 20 minutes.
However, the Knights scored twice more in the second and again in the third period, before a late Levi Brewer powerplay marker.
The Coyotes were outshot 45-24 and shorthanded eight times, compared to receiving only four man advantage opportunities of their own.
Rhett Harkot suffered the defeat in net, albeit helping to keep the score respectable.
Thursday marks a complete day of rest and recovery in preparation for Saturday night’s (Nov. 19th) hosting of the Golden Rockets, beginning at 7:35 at the Sun Bowl Arena.
