The Kelowna Chiefs look to keep a strong month of January going when they visit the North Okanagan Knights Friday in KIJHL action. Face off at Nor-Val Centre is 7 p.m.

Then on Saturday, Jason Tansem’s club will be home to the Princeton Posse. Game time at Rutland Arena is 7 p.m.

The Chiefs have yet to lose in regulation in 2018, with a 5-0-1 record in six games.

Kelowna is coming off a 4-3 overtime win Saturday over the division-rival Summerland Steam. Devin Sutton’s second of the game on a power play 28 seconds into the extra session was the game winner.

Joseph McLeod stopped 36 shots in the Kelowna net for his fifth straight win since joining the Chiefs.

A night earlier in Princeton, the Chiefs drubbed the Posse 10-4. Zach Erhardt had seven points on two goals and five assists, while captain Brett Witala also had a huge night with two goals and six points.
