The West Kelowna Warriors head south on 97 tonight to take on the Penticton Vees. The Warriors are coming off an overtime loss to the Coquitlam Express, while the Vees knocked off the Trail Smoke Eaters on Wednesday for their 8th straight victory.

A very tough weekend for the Warriors, as their Saturday opponent, the Powell River Kings, have won 7 straight entering Friday's games. West Kelowna will need to replicate the effort from last Saturday's win over Wenatchee.

The Warriors did out-shoot the Express on Wednesday, the 7th time they have been able to do that this season. West Kelowna had 12 scoring chances in the game, while the Express had 10.
