\u201cWe talked about getting two guys inside and just getting pucks there and that\u2019s what we did,\u201d said Vancouver Giants Head Coach\/GM Michael Dyck following Saturday\u2019s 4-1 victory over the visiting Seattle Thunderbirds on home ice at Langley Events Centre.<\/p>\n
It was their second win over Seattle in as many games, following Vancouver\u2019s 6-3 win Friday in Kent.<\/p>\n
Jakob Oreskovic scored twice and added an assist for the Giants, who also recorded goals by Ethan Armstrong and Mathis Preston.<\/p>\n
All three stars of the game were Vancouver players: Oreskovic, Oliver Bryks, who made 25 saves on 26 shots, and Armstrong.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Brock England scored the lone goal for Seattle.<\/p>\n
Armstrong opened the scoring for Vancouver just 67 seconds into the game.<\/p>\n
Seattle scored midway through the first period, but with just 2.1 seconds left in the first period, the Giants re-took the lead when Oreskovic shovelled home a loose puck in front of the net.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the first period, both goals, we got pucks through and we had people at the net,\u201d Dyck said.<\/p>\n
The only goal of the second period came off the stick of Oreskovic, who one-timed a shot from the right circle past Sklenicka, after a good play from Sullivan Humeniuk to hold the puck inside the Seattle zone. Humeniuk\u2019s primary assist was his first WHL point.<\/p>\n
Preston scored the only goal of the third period.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we started well,\u201d Dyk commented. \u201cObviously it was nice to strike quick. I liked our special teams better today than I did yesterday. I thought [yesterday] they got a lot of momentum on their power play and on their penalty kill, and I thought tonight we got some momentum from our specialty teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
Giants and Thunderbirds will meet for the third time in a row Tuesday night in Kent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VIDEO: Vancouver Giants win again Published 8:00 pm Sunday, October 11, 2026 \u201cWe talked about getting two guys…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":929849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,163792,87674],"class_list":["post-929848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-lower-mainland","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=929848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/929848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/929849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=929848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=929848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=929848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
