A photo from Tuesday's game in Kamloops, courtesy of Doyle Potenteau, who covers the Kelowna Rockets for the Kelowna Daily Courier. . . . Kamloops Blazers goalie Justin Leclerc stops a shot from Kelowna forward Mikael Backlund, right, while Blazers defenceman Giffen Nyren tries to defend during WHL playoff action in Kamloops on Tuesday night. . . . It was Backlund's first game since being injured March 13 during a regular-season game in Kamloops. The nature of his injury was never disclosed but it's believed he suffered a concussion. He was flying on Tuesday night and made a nifty play to set up the winning goal in overtime. . . . The Rockets won the game 3-2 and lead the first-round best-of-seven series 3-0 with Game 4 in Kamloops on Wednesday night.
