The Penticton Vees came out of the gate with the energy that has defined their postseason. It was Ethan Weber getting things started to make it 1-0 for Penticton early into the frame. Not long after, the Everett Silvertips responded as Zackary Shantz let one go, tying the game at 1-1.
Nolan Stevenson scored for Penticton in the second, before the Silvertips exploded for three straight goals, that saw Matias Vanhanen and Julius Miettinen each pickup two points.
Everett now holds a 3-0 stranglehold on Penticton, with Game 4 expected to go Tuesday at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
