The 琉璃神社 Rockets squandered a 3-0 lead and settled for a single point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Everett Silvertips on Sunday (Nov. 24).

琉璃神社 got off to a strong start with Andrew Cristall (13) scoring twice in the first period to make it 2-0. Cristall鈥檚 second goal came on a shorthanded breakaway. The Rockets extended their lead late in the second period when Tij Iginla notched his 13th goal of the season, putting them ahead 3-0.

The Silvertips began their comeback just 32 seconds into the third period. Dominik Rymon scored his eighth goal of the season to make it 3-1. Julius Miettinen (7) added his seventh, and Rymon (9) tied the game with his second of the night to force overtime. Everett鈥檚 Kaden Hammell (4) sealed the victory at 2:07 of the extra frame.

鈥淚 really liked our start; I thought in the first 20 minutes we were a hungry team and did a lot of good things,鈥� said Rockets Assistant Coach Derrick Martin. 鈥淚n the second period, we got into a special teams matchup, which left some players sitting on the bench. By the third period, it felt like we sat back and were almost timid about doing the job we needed to do. Unacceptable by us as a group, and it鈥檚 something we鈥檒l work on and fix.鈥�

The Rockets are now ninth in the Western Conference standings with 21 points and a 9-9-2-1 record.

琉璃神社 was outshot 41-35 and went 0-for-3 on the power play. Goaltender Jake Pilon made 37 saves in the loss. The Rockets beat the Vancouver Giants 8-3 on Friday (Nov. 22) night.
