The Northwest Giants had a chance to pad their stats following two big wins over the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds last weekend.

The Giants, the only still unbeaten team in the B.C. major midget hockey league, dumped the T-Birds 9-2 in Chilliwack on Oct. 27, before returning home for a 10-1 triumph on the Sunday.

Eric Margo led the Giants with two goals and two assists in Sunday's win, lifting him into a tie with Jarid Lukosevicius and Jackson Cressey for the team lead with seven goals apiece.

Colton Kerfoot also potted a pair of goals, while Jansen Harkins chipped in with four assists. Quinn Thompson also assisted on three counters.

The win improved the Giants' record to 9-0-1, just one point behind the first-place Cariboo Cougars at 10-2-0.

On Saturday, Burnaby defenceman Connor Pasco picked up the first of his two goals this season against the Thunderbirds.

Cole Todd had a pair of late goals for the winners, while Lukosevicius, Margo and Brandon Del Grosso of New Westminster all had a goal and one helper in the one-sided win.

This weekend, the Giants face the Northeast Chiefs, beginning with a Saturday matchup in Coquitlam. The return game is at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday, beginning at 9: 30 a.m.
