Welcome back, Petr

The hardest working man on the ice is back in action.

Americans forward Petr Stoklasa will be playing his first game since hurting his shoulder Feb. 17 against Prince George. Petey will add depth, especially on the penalty kill. He has been sorely missed and his return is like getting a new player at crunch time.

Petey got a rousing ovation when the starting lineup was announced.

No surprises tonight -- Chet is in goal, as is well-traveled Mark Guggenberger for Kelowna. From the start of last season to now, Guggenberger is with his third WHL team, starting in Portland, making a stop in Swift Current and ending up with the Rockets midway through this season.

Scratched for the Americans are Zach Yuen, Brock Zimak, Drew Owsley and injured players Brett Plouffe and Spencer Asuchak.

Swedish start Mikael Backlund and Kyle St. Denis were scratched for Kelowna.
