The Kamloops Storm are on a roll.

Kevin Leschuk, Tyler Jackson, Diego Cuglietta, Colten DeFrias (2), Blake Culbert and Brett Dallen scored in the lop-sided victory.
Lyndon Stanwood stopped 56 of the 57 shots that came his way between the pipes for the Storm.
Kamloops had a tougher time with the Grizzlies in Revelstoke on Friday, Sept. 23.
A Colten DeFrias goal early in double overtime gave the Storm a 3-2 win.
Chase Edwards and Ryan Harrison also scored for the River City junior B squad.
Stanwood stopped 35 shots in the victory.
Kamloops (4-1-0-1), which sits tied with Revelstoke atop the league’s Doug Birks Division, welcomes the Heat to McArthur at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30.
The Heat are winless in five games and are last place in the Birks Division.
