GAME SUMMARY

The game was 0-0 after 20 minutes, though the Giants had some good power play chances towards the end of the period. Regardless, it was 0-0 after one, with the shots on goal favouring Kelowna 10-8.

Midway through the second period, the Rockets struck twice in a span of 40 seconds, first on a cross-crease pass that 20-year-old Schelter finished off, and then off a deflection from Kehrig.

The Giants got on the board just over two minutes later, when Lin walked in from the blue line and went top corner on the blocker side of Kykkanen to make it 2-1.

And they weren’t done there.

Less than two minutes after Lin’s goal, Oreskovic scored right off an offensive zone face-off, when he was able to locate the puck in some skates and fire a quick shot that caught Kykkanen off guard.

The Giants controlled much of the third period, outshooting Kelowna 12-3, which included some great chances late in the game on a power play, but they couldn’t quite cash in.

In overtime, Will Subject drew a hooking penalty after causing a turnover and then heading in on a 2-on-1 with Aaron Obobaifo where Subject was hauled down.

On the ensuing power play, Zimmer took a pass from Lin and ended the game with a quick one-timer that went short side.
