The Vancouver Giants fell 2-1 in a Wednesday night road game at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops.

The 91原创-based team (16-18-2-0) gave a good account of itself, but couldn鈥檛 beat the B.C. Division-leading Blazers (25-11-1-0).

Giants goalie Jesper Vikman proved a major roadblock between the Blazers and their next win, as he shut down two power plays. It was only on the third power play in the first period that Kamloops鈥� forward Luke Toporowski managed to get one past Vikman.

Just 57 seconds into the second period, Mats Lindgren increased the Kamloops lead to 2-0, roaring out of the penalty box, picking up a feed from Caedan Bankier, and putting it in the net on a shorthanded breakaway.

Scoreless in two periods, Vancouver got on the board at 12:49 of the third, with Fabian Lysell鈥檚 power play effort, off the stick of Cole Shepard. Lysell put a high shot home past Blazers goalie Dylan Garand.

The game鈥檚 first star was Kamloops鈥� Garand, with 27 saves, with the Giants Vikman taking second star honours for his 27 saves. Lindgren took third star for his game-winning goal.

The Giant are now 1-6 against Kamloops this season, and 0-4 on the road.

The next outing by the Giants will be at home in the 91原创 Events Centre on Friday, Jan. 28, against the Kelowna Rockets. The game starts at 7:30 p.m.
