Three games in three days saw the Giants drop a 6-5 decision to the Prince George Cougars at the Pacific Coliseum where several friends attended in the Delta TV Suite enjoying the game.

Despite the loss the Giants got their goals from Dylan Plouffe, Alec Baer, Chase Lang, Tyler Benson and Ty Ronning.

The Cougars scored twice on their first three shots, with goals from Justin Almeida and Chase Witala that saw Ryan Kubic get the hook and was replaced by David Tendeck who was appearing in his first WHL game.

The G-Men got within a goal before the end of the first, as Plouffe scored from the point.

Early in the middle stanza, Baer tied the game at 2-2 for the G-Men, scoring his sixth of the year off the wing.

Witala scored on the power play to restore the Cougar lead, but minutes later, Lang rippled the mesh to pull the Giants back onto even footing again.

Benson gave Vancouver its first lead of the hockey game when he found the net on a rebound, but the Cougars tied the game late in the period as Witala completed the hat trick to once again tie the game.

Joseph Carvalho and Jansen Harkins scored third period goals to put Prince George ahead 6-4.

The G-Men got within one late in the period when Ronning scored his team leading 18th of the season, but Vancouver could not find the game-tying goal.

David Tendeck made 20 saves on 24 shots in relief of Ryan Kubic.

The Giants’ next game is Friday, December 11th, when they host the Victoria Royals on Ugly Christmas Sweater Night.

Santa Claus himself will be in attendance at the game, and there will be special giveaways and holiday celebrations throughout the evening.
