SPOKANE, WA (NEWS1130) – The Vancouver Giants fell 6-4 to the Seattle Thunderbirds last night for their second straight loss. They’ll try and get back into the win column tonight with a road date with the Spokane Chiefs.

The Giants are venturing out on the road for just the third time this season and are yet to record a victory away from the Pacific Coliseum.

Vancouver (2-6-0) is off to a tough start to the WHL season and sits last in the BC Division with just four points through eight games.

The Giants and Thunderbirds will be meeting for the second time in this young season. Vancouver earned a 3-2 win at home on Sept. 30. That loss is one of only two for the Chiefs (5-2-0), as they sit second in the US Division.

Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m.
