Listen to this story:

The quick read: The Kelowna Rockets' seven-game point streak is over after a winless weekend in Victoria. Tomas Poletin scored twice Friday as Kelowna built a 4-1 lead, only to lose 5-4 in a shootout, and the Royals took Saturday's rematch 4-1. Owen Folstrom scored Kelowna's lone goal Saturday, and Harrison Boettiger made 23 saves.

A weekend that started with a four-goal lead ended with nothing to show for it.

On Friday night at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, Tomas Poletin scored twice and Kelowna built a 4-1 lead over the Victoria Royals.

Cole Braunshausen and Dawson Gerwing also scored, and Harrison Boettiger made 31 saves, but the Royals rallied to win 5-4 in a shootout.

Kelowna wasted no time getting on the board, with Poletin cashing in on the power play less than a minute into the game after Victoria took a roughing penalty five seconds after the opening faceoff.

Saturday afternoon was worse.

Victoria opened the scoring just 53 seconds in, through Miles Cooper, with assists from Cameron Schmidt and Odin Vauhkonen.

Owen Folstrom scored Kelowna's only goal, Boettiger stopped 23 shots, and the 4-1 loss snapped the Rockets' seven-game point streak.

Seven straight games with at least a point is nothing to shrug at, and this group has shown it can hang with anyone in the Western Hockey League.

But blowing a three-goal lead one night and falling behind in the first minute the next is how good weekends turn into lessons, and the Rockets will want the response to come at Prospera Place, not on the road.
