Conner Radke scored his first career WHL goal, but the Kamloops Blazers were beaten 6-1 by the Victoria Royals Tuesday night.

The Royals scored five unanswered goals across three periods, before Radke’s marker ended the shutout bid midway through the third.

Nate Misskey and Reggie Newman scored first period goals for Victoria before Cole Reschny scored a goal in each period to complete a natural hat trick at the Save-On Foods Memorial Arena.

Logan Pickford rounded out the scoring for the Royals late in the period to give Victoria their second win of the season over the Blazers.
