Samuel Honzek is the night’s second star after finding the scoresheet four times (2G, 2A) as the Vancouver Giants topped Prince George 5-4 on the road to extend the club’s point streak to four games. The Giants sit third in the WHL’s B.C. Division with 18 points in as many games.

Skating in his second season with the Knights, Crane has impressed with near point-per-game production totaling six goals and seven assists in 15 outings.
