KENNEWICK — If the first weekend of the preseason raised concerns about the Everett Silvertips’ ability to score goals, the second weekend of the preseason did a lot to allay those fears.

Everett busted out big time Saturday as the Tips routed the Kootenay Ice 8-2 at the Tri-City Preseason tournament.

Everett looked offensively challenged last weekend, when the Tips scored a total of just four goals in its three games at the Holiday Inn Preseason Classic. But Everett matched that four-goal total in its first game in Kennewick, beating Seattle 4-2 Friday. Then the Tips pulled off the same feat Saturday as Everett’s eight goals also matched the total from all its previous preseason games combined.

Eight different players found the net for Everett: Remi Laurencelle, Chris Stockl, Kohl Bauml, Tyler Sandhu, Logan Aasman, Nik Malenica, Brayden Low and Graham Millar. Noah Juulsen and Ivan Nikolishin each added two assists, and 13 different players hit the scoresheet for the Tips, who outshot the Ice 31-17.

Austin Lotz started in goal for Everett and stopped all 11 shots he faced. Mario Petit played the second half of the game and saved four of six.

The victory improved Everett’s preseason record to 3-2. The Tips have two preseason games remaining, next weekend’s home-and-home set with Seattle.

Austin Wellsby and Zak Zborosky scored, and Jayden Sittler made 23 saves in goal for Kootenay (0-2).
