Two first period goals by the Silvertips were too much for the Vancouver Giants to overcome Saturday night in Everett.

Newly-minted Silvertips captain Jackson Berezowski opened the scoring with a powerplay goal 1:44 into the game. ANd that was followed in short order by Eric Jamieson added to the Everett lead with a breakaway goal eight minutes later.

While Jaden Lipinski was able to get the G-Men on the board early in the second with a 鈥渇ancy through-the-legs goal,鈥 Giants media director Jamison Derksen said Everett鈥檚 Beau Courtney capitalized on a turnover and restored the U.S. team 2-point lead a minute later.

And the final goal of the night, also scored in the second period. In that case, Roan Woodward redirected the puck with his skate at 9:47, taking a permanent 4-1 lead.

RECENT: Vancouver Giants head coach Michael Dyck will be working with a much younger team this season

As previously indicated by head coach Michael Dyck, he acknowledged it鈥檚 a young team this season, and consequently it could take a few weeks for him to determine the final roster.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of good talent here, and good chemistry,鈥 Dyck remarked, ahead of last week鈥檚 season home opener.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e a good group of guys.鈥

But developing them into a team won鈥檛 happen instantly, he cautioned.

鈥淚t鈥檒l take a little longer,鈥 he waned. 鈥淚t takes a lot of time to get connected.鈥

Next up, the Vancouver Giants return to what Derksen calls the 鈥渇riendly confines鈥 of the 91原创 Events Centre for a matchup with the Victoria Royals this coming Friday, Sept. 30. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m.
