The Kelowna Rockets are back in action tonight, playing the third game of a six game WHL Eastern Conference road swing.
The Rockets will meet Brandon tonight after opening the trip with a 4-2 win in Swift Current on Tuesday and a 6-3 win over Moose Jaw on Wednesday.
The wins extended the Rockets road winning streak to nine games while overall the team has won eight straight and 17 of its past 18 to jump into first place overall in the WHL with a 24-3-0-2 record.
