Kelowna At Spokane

Fri., Jan. 28, 2000

Time, site: 7:05, Arena

Radio: 920-AM.

Summary: Kelowna comes in after Wednesday night’s penalty-marred win in Kamloops. The Rockets, with promising 17-year-old center Kiel McLeod back from a broken foot and right wing Ryan Cuthbert cleared after getting over a concussion, are healthier than when last seen.

Chiefs may have all-star goaltender Jason LaBarbera for the first time at home. The big netminder won his first two on the road with the Chiefs before injuring a hamstring. He practiced Thursday, after which he said it was likely he’d be able to go.

News is not so encouraging up front. Daniel Bohac was on crutches Thursday, did not practice and probably will sit this one out after suffering a knee injury in Wednesday’s 5-4 loss to Calgary. Roman Tvrdon (shoulder) skated, without contact, and may play.
