The Golden Rockets battled the Spokane Braves and won

The Golden Rockets traveled to Spokane to take on the Braves on Friday Feb. 10.

The Golden Rockets are on the road for three games in three days, and they started the trip off with a 4-1 win over the Spokane Braves.

After a scoreless first period, the Rockets took the lead in the second when Keith Wake scored off of Captain Darren Andre. They strengthened their lead on the penalty kill with a short-handed goal from Kyle Garcia.

Golden tallied another short-handed goal in the third, this time it came unassisted from Jacob Bergeron at 8:26.

Spokane managed to get on the scoreboard with a goal from Dylan Tappe. But Andre restored the three-goal lead on the power play with just over a minute left on the clock.
