A 4-3 overtime loss to the Spokane Chiefs on the road on Friday night was worth a single point for the Vancouver Giants. It was their second straight OT loss.

Ty Halaburda, Mazden Leslie and Tyler Thorpe each scored in the defeat, while Cameron Schmidt increased his season-long point streak to 12 games with a pair of assists.

Burke Hood stopped 10 of 11 shots he saw in relief of Matthew Hutchison, who made 15 saves on 18 shots in the first 42 minutes of the game.

Shea Van Olm found the back of the net twice for the Chiefs, while Chase Harrington and Rasmus Ekstrom (overtime winner) also scored.

Giants Associate Coach Adam Maglio thought it was "a good game both ways."

"I think our guys competed extremely hard," Maglio said.

"I liked our physicality. I thought the intensity, the urgency, was there. We were executing the game plan, I thought ,for the most part. We got better as the game went on. I thought we got contributions from everyone tonight. So there were some positives."

With two assists, Schmidt remains tied for the WHL lead in points (21) and is tied for first in goals (12)

Leslie's goal gives him 15 points this season, which is the second-most among all defencemen in the WHL

After one goal in his first six games, Thorpe now has three goals in his last six. He leads the Giants with 44 shots on goal.

Next, Giants host Kamloops this afternoon (Sunday, Oct. 27) at 91原创 Events Centre. Puck drop is 4 p.m.
