Kole Lind leads Rockets to victory over Winterhawks

Kole Lind with a big night scoring two goals and adding two assists, factoring in all four of Kelowna's goals in the 4-1 win over the Portland Winterhawks. The four points gets Lind to the century mark in 123 WHL games. The sophomore has 22 goals and 36 assists in his first 47 games played this season and leads the team in goals and assists.

Tomas Soustal scored the first goal of the game early in the first. Joachim Blichfeld evened it up before the first would end.

Lind scored the next two goals, both on the power-play. Braydyn Chizen scored the final goal of the game.
