EDMONTON, AB (NEWS1130) – The Vancouver Giants opened up a five-game swing through Alberta with a win over the Red Deer Rebels last night and they’ll be back on the ice today for a meeting with the Edmonton Oil Kings.
The teams will be meeting for the second time this season. Edmonton took a 5-1 victory at home on Oct. 28.
The Oil Kings (26-8-5) are red-hot, having won eight of their past 10 games with three victories in a row. They sit a top the Eastern Conference standings with 57 points and trail only the Portland Winterhawks (65), Kamloops Blazers (60), and Kelowna Rockets (58) overall.
Vancouver (11-28-0) has struggled since opening night and sits dead-last in the WHL with just 22 points. The Giants have gone 3-7-0 in their past 10 games, and last night’s win was just their fourth on the road all season.
Following tonight’s game, the Giants will travel south for a matinee against the Calgary Hitmen tomorrow. They wrap-up the trip with visits to Medicine Hat and Lethbridge on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Puck drop tonight is 6 p.m.
