Wheat Kings go down three games as Hawryluk is held off the scoresheet again

Yet another tough night for Cats pick Jayce Hawryluk as his team is on the brink of elimination.

The Brandon Wheat Kings now trail the Kelowna Rockets 3-0 in the WHL championship series, after losing another tough matchup.

The Rockets seem to just be too good at scoring goals in timely fashion, according to Rob Henderson of the Brandon Sun.

On Monday, they turned to three of their top forwards to get the job done. After being put together part way through Game 2, Rourke Chartier (two goals, one assist), Leon Draisaitl (one goal, two assists) and Nick Merkley (three assists) were together from the opening faceoff on Monday and combined for nine points.
