The Victoria Royals’ run of misery extended when they got crushed by the Seattle Thunderbirds 7-3 Saturday night in the Western Hockey League.
The loss was Victoria’s (12-28-5) 16th straight. The team hasn’t won a game since Dec. 30.
Conner Roulette assisted on three of Seattle’s (27-11-5) goals and added one of his own in a game that appeared to be over before the third period, carrying a 5-1 lead heading into the final third.
Henrik Rybinski scored twice for Seattle, while Lucas Ciona, Chase Lacombe, Lukas Svejkovsky and Matthew Rempe had the other goals.
Victoria’s Bailey Peach scored his 26th goal of the season, good for a tie for 10th in the league. Kalem Parker and Tarun Fizer also scored.
