KAMLOOPS — Braycen Dube scored a pair but it wasn’t enough as the Kamloops Storm fell 3-2 to the 100 Mile House Wranglers Saturday (March 22) night in game six of their second round KIJHL playoff series.

Digeo Cazac scored the series winner into the empty-net with a little over a minute to play, as the Wranglers clinched the Doug Birks Division final four games to two.

Dube opened the scoring for the Storm with a power play marker at 10:47 of the second period. The Wranglers pulled back through Jaden Rusznak, after he scored a short-handed goal at 15:29 of the period.

The Wranglers – who are coached by Merritt native Levi Stuart – then took the lead at 6:52 of the third through Everett Boutcher, before Cazac’s goal put them on the cusp of victory.
