Giants Hammer PA Raiders 10-1

In some games it only takes one goal and in this  case it would clearly have been enough, but the Giants scoring machine worked and ended up with a 10-1 win over Prince Albert Raiders.

Say what you will but neither the weather or the Provincial Election would keep the fans away after returning home from their recent road trip as the Giants improve to a 6-4-0-0 record while the Raiders fall to 2-7-2.

Enjoy the read and thanks to Giants Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations Nathan Kanter for the info.

Vancouver was led by Connor Levis, who registered his second career hat-trick and added an assist, plus Jakob Oreskovic and Tyson Zimmer, who each had three-point nights – Oreskovic with the first multi-goal game of his career and an assist, and Zimmer with a goal and two helpers. Caden Cail also netted his first career Western Hockey League goal.

Rounding out the scoring for the G-Men was London Hoilett, Mazden Leslie and Tyler Thorpe. Cameron Schmidt chipped in with three assists, while Ryan Lin had two assists as the Giants PP was an impressive 4-for-4.

Matthew Hutchison made 30 saves to improve to 5-2 on the season.

Brayden Dube scored the lone goal for Prince Albert.

The Giants stormed out of the gate, striking three times in the first six and a half minutes.

They opened the scoring on a power play at the 4:32 mark of the first off a one-timer from the left circle from Zimmer, his third tally of the season.

Just 34 seconds later, the Raiders turned the puck over in their own zone and the Giants made them pay when Oreskovic left the puck for Hoilett, who quickly released a shot that beat goaltender Max Hildebrand on the blocker side.

Less than two minutes later, Schmidt and Levis connected for a beautiful goal, where they exchanged a couple of passes while flying through the neutral zone, before Schmidt sent a pass from the bottom of the right circle to Levis in the slot, who one-timed it home.

Schmidt would connect with Levis yet again just over five minutes into the second period on a power play to extend Vancouver’s lead to 4-0.

While the Raiders got on the board courtesy of Dube 8:15 into the second period, the Giants responded with three more second period goals.

The first response came off the stick of the captain, when Leslie fired home a shot off a pass from Tyler Thorpe on yet another power play.

Forty-eight seconds later, Oreskovic beat Hildebrand cleanly from the left circle with a shot to the top shelf to make it 6-1 for the Giants.

Before the period was done, Cail buried his first WHL goal after Ryan Lin held the puck in at the offensive blue line and saw Cail alone in the right circle.

The Kamloops product made sure to fire it as quickly as he could, beating goaltender Cooper Anderson, who had come in relief.

Oreskovic scored his second of the night less than a minute into the third period, followed by Thorpe’s shorthanded tally just past the five-minute mark.

Levis capped off the night by completing his hat-trick on an odd-man rush coming down the right side.
