GAME SUMMARY

Most of Sunday’s action occurred in the first period, with five of the game’s seven goals being scored in the first 17 minutes of action.

Obobaifo opened the scoring just over five minutes in on a Giants power play. He used his speed to drive wide at the offensive blue line and then was able to cut to the net, where he finished on the backhand.

Just a few minutes later, Zimmer scored shorthanded from his own end, after his clearing attempt went the length of the ice, banked off the end boards, and then hit goaltender Jake Pilon and went in.

At the 11:51 mark of the first period, Varga scored on a breakaway to cut the Giants lead to 2-1.

Around five minutes after that, Schmidt sniped his first of the preseason from the high slot, restoring the Giants two-goal led.

That multi-goal advantage was short-lived, after Benson scored just nine seconds later to make the score 3-2.

In the second period, neither team found the back of the net, but the Giants put the game out of each early in the third period with two quick goals. First, Oreskovic scored on the power play just 1:55 into the final frame, which was followed up by Obobaifo’s second of the game less than two minutes later.

Vancouver was dominant in the third period, out-shooting the Rockets 14-4. They also killed off three straight penalties, two of which overlapped for nearly two minutes of 5-on-3.
