The Grandview Steelers moved a point out of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League divisional cellar with a couple of wins last week.

The Burnaby-based junior B club started the week off with a 3-1 victory over the last-placed Mission Icebreakers last Thursday.

At home, Grandview defeated the Port Moody Black Panthers 4-1 at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday.

Third-year Steeler Giancarlo Romano of Burnaby was a game star in both matchups.

The 20-year-old forward tallied the Steelers' unassisted third goal of the game in the win over Mission.

Romano was the game's second star, with a goal and an assist, in Sunday's win over Port Moody.

Team scoring leader Kentaro Tanaka was the game's first star against the Panthers.

Tanaka scored two goals, including the second-period game-winner, while also garnering his team-leading 18th helper of the season.

Justin Elliott also had three assists in the win.
