Despite a tough loss to the Winnipeg Ice on Wednesday, the Kelowna Rockets can likely label their eastern road trip as a success.
The team has ridden a four-game win streak and a nine-game point streak to second place in the BC division standings, sitting only behind the arch-rival Kamloops Blazers.
