GAME DAY: Tuesday, January 21 at Seattle
Kent, WA – The Vancouver Giants (22-16-5-0) head to Seattle tonight to battle the Thunderbirds (14-26-2-1) in the midst of their strongest stretches of play this season, with puck drop set for 7:05 p.m. at the accesso ShoWare Center.
After a 3-1 win on home ice on Sunday over Brandon, the G-Men are now 9-3-1 in their last 13 games. While much of their success has come on home ice, the Giants are still 5-4-1 in their last 10 road games.
The Thunderbirds lost their last game on home ice on Saturday, 5-2 to the Kelowna Rockets. They beat Kelowna the previous night 4-3 in overtime.
Seattle is last in the Western Conference, but they are 3-4 since the calendar flipped to 2025, which includes wins over Prince George (3-1 W Jan. 3) and Everett (5-4 SOW Jan. 11).
Vancouver is 2-0 against Seattle so far this season.
