GAME SUMMARY

Sparks opened the scoring for the G-Men less than three minutes in when he put home a rebound from right in front.

Kmec would tie it on an individual effort off the rush, as he drove wide and was able to get to the net and chip home the equalizer.

Leslie gave the Giants a 2-1 lead with a one-timer on a 4-on-3 power play early in period two, but the Cougars would respond with a pair of goals of their own. Heidt redirected in the tying goal of a hard pass from Koehn Ziemmer, and then Vaughan made it 3-2 for Prince George with a one-time blast at the 16:21 mark of period two.

The Giants got a quick response from Muranov, who tied it off a faceoff with a low shot through the five-hole of Ravensbergen, making it 3-3 after 40 minutes.

Kmec put Prince George back in front just 29 seconds into the third period, but yet again Vancouver was quick to equalize with Cameron Schmidt finding Lipinski in the slot 51 seconds later, who made no mistake to tie the contest 4-4.

Muranov scored his second of the night from the bottom of the left circle moments after Jakob Oreskovic hit the crossbar to restore the Giants lead at 5-4.

The Giants would then be called for slashing with only 1:57 remaining in the game, setting up a 6-on-4 power play where Valis set up Parascak in front to tie the game 14 seconds into the man advantage.

In the final minute, Ben Riche stole the puck as the Giants were breaking up ice and quickly spun and fired a low shot that found the back of the net, making it a 6-5 final score.
