VICTORIA 6 KAMLOOPS 3 Victoria leads series 3-2 The Victoria Royals, missing their top-two forwards, used their depth and balance to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven opening-round Western Hockey League playoff series against the Kamloops Blazers. A great Dane and a call-up defenceman who looks to be a keeper provided crucial goals as the Royals defeated the Blazers 6-3 in the pivotal fifth game Saturday night before 5,826 appreciative fans at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. Forward Phillip Schultz, who has represented Denmark twice in the world junior championships, but who looks right at home in the North American game, scored three times for Victoria. Undersized but gutsy two-way defenceman Noah Lamb, an affiliated player called up late in the regular season, scored his first WHL goal. But just as impressive were the inspired efforts turned in by Royals forwards Dino Kambeitz, Belarusian-import forward Igor Martynov and hometown Victoria product Tanner Sidaway, the latter who with Schultz scored one of the Royals’ two empty-net goals in the frenetic late going. The Royals got the quick start they wanted with D-Jay Jerome scoring just one minute and 27 seconds into the game. But Ryley Appelt ripped home a shot to the blocker side to tie it 1-1 for Kamloops at 13:54 of the first period. That was followed in the second period by two goals from Schultz and Lamb’s first career counter. That was it for the Blazers’ Las Vegas
