The Northwest Giants got back on the winning side of the ledger following back-to-back wins in Kamloops last week.
The Giants opened with a 3-1 victory over the Thompson Blazers in Kamloops on Nov. 7 in B.C. major midget hockey league play. On the Saturday, the Burnaby Winter Club-based Giants won again 5-2 over the last-place club.
In the opener, Ryland Chernomaz got the game’s first goal and Justin Wilson tallied the eventual game-winner later in the first period with an unassisted shorthanded marker at the two-minute mark of the stanza.
In the later game, the Giants were forced to come back from a 2-0 first-period deficit.
Austin McQuay tied the score 2-2 early in the middle frame and Mateo Coltellaro counted the game-winning goal two minutes later.
Andre Margo and Wilson Northey also scored in the third period for the Giants.
The Giants are in Prince George this weekend to take on the first-place Cougars.
