Salmon Arm roared back in the third to double up the West Kelowna Warriors 6-3 Friday

Warriors streak done at 7

Simon Tassy showed why he's one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the BC Hockey League.

In the biggest game of the season Friday, Tassy scored three times, including the game winner early in the third, leading the Salmon Arm Silverbacks to a come-from-behind 6-3 win over the West Kelowna Warriors.

Tassy also assisted on the insurance goal.

The loss snapped the Warriors seven-game winning streak. They've now gone 11 straight regular season games without a win in Salmon Arm dating back to February of 2017.

The Warriors led 3-2 after 40, but Salmon Arm responded with four unanswered goals to win going away.

The game was deadlocked 1-1 after one. Brandon Santa Juana opened the scoring for the home side 70 seconds in before Warriors captain Elan Bar Lev Wise tied it late.

Twice the Warriors took the lead in the second.

Pat Lawn made it 2-1 before Tassy knotted it with his first of the night.

Riley Sharun banged home his second of the season and second in as many games again gave the Warriors a one goal lead.

But, it was the Silverbacks who roared back in the third.

Michael Ladyman tied it on a power play the, just 20 seconds later, and moments after Sharun and Danny Ciccarello dropped the gloves, Tassy bagged the eventual game winner.

Noah Serdachny and Tassy into an empty net rounded out the scoring.

The win moves the Silverbacks to within a single point of the Interior Division leading Warriors.

The same two teams will battle again Saturday night in Salmon Arm.
