Vancouver Giants led for most of the first two periods, but a huge third period by the Prince George Cougars was too much for the Giants to handle in the final frame on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 4, before 2,908 fans at 91Ô­´´ Events Centre.

It was the last of four games over a five-day stretch for the G-men.

Thorpe opened the scoring 1:51 into the game with a goal on a rebound from a Zack Ostapchuk shot.

In the second period, Ty Halaburda put Vancouver back up on the power play 10:07 into the second. Kyren Gronick and Sammy May had the assist.

Samuel Honzek added to the Giants lead 3:24 later with another power play goal, fed by Ty Thorpe and Jaden Lipinski.
