Milos Roman scored twice for Vancouver and Tristen Nielsen had a goal and three points. Cole Shepard had the other Giants’ goal. David Tendeck picked up the win in the Giants’ crease and earned his third shutout of the season.

The Giants led 1-0 through 20-minutes on Roman’s first of two on the night. In the middle frame, Shepard and Roman scored in the final 10-minutes of the period to put Vancouver up 3-0 after two periods. Roman’s second goal coming with less than three seconds left on the clock. Nielsen tacked on a goal early in the third period to finish off the scoring.

Prince George came close to tying the game on a power-play in the second period. Down 1-0, Josh Maser appeared to bat the puck into the Giants’ net after a short scramble. However, the referee immediately waved off the goal ruling Maser had contacted the puck with a high stick. Video review upheld the call on the ice.

The loss marked Tyler Brennan’s first of his young WHL career, as he surrendered four goals on 23 shots. He had won his previous two starts.

The Cougars (4-15-0-2) will look to shake the weekend loose as they return home to face the Edmonton Oil Kings on Tuesday, Nov. 19^th at 7:00 p.m.
