After overtime in Game 2 at the Langley Events Centre, the Vancouver Giants find themselves up 2-0 against the Victoria Royals in the series heading into Game 3 in Victoria tonight.
Nielsen plays hero in OT, Giants outlast Royals in Game 2
This series has had a very unique element something rarely seen.
Combined in two games in this series the Giants have outshot the Royals by a 57-25 margin, with the Royals only putting 10 pucks on David Tendeck in Game 2.
Impressively, the Royals forced that game into overtime and nearly stunned the Giants taking home ice advantage in the series with them.
The number of shot blocks and the ability to play tight defense got the best of Victoria in the first two games something that definitely stood out.
Griffen Outhouse has been the series MVP thus far on the Royals side of things. The netminder has done everything but score a goal, and done that on the road an even more impressive feat.
The Giants dominated all of Game 3 but were unable to beat the veteran wearing black and blue.
Vancouver rolls into the Save On Foods Memorial Centre after winning their last four playoff games.
