HOW TO TUNE IN – REGULAR SEASON GAME 68/68

TODAY’S MATCHUP
The Giants lost last night in Kamloops by a score of 7-3, though the game was much closer than the score suggests: it was 3-2 after 20 minutes and 4-3 after 40 before Kamloops made it 5-3 midway through the third and then scored two late markers, including one into an empty net.
The Giants are 4-6-0 in their last 10, while the Blazers are 5-4-1.
Vancouver holds a 3-4-0 record in the season series.
The Blazers currently hold down the fifth spot in the Western Conference, but that could change. They can finish in either fifth or sixth place, with Spokane currently one point behind them with a game in hand. If Kamloops finishes in fifth, they will play Kelowna in the opening round of the playoffs. If they finish in sixth, they will play Prince George.
