Giants post eighth straight win to remain undefeated in WHL play

Michael Repik, Mario Bliznak and Jonathan Blum scored for the Giants, who improved to 8-0.

Jeremy Schenderling scored for Swift Current as the Broncos dropped to 4-3. Swift Current goaltender Kyle Moir's excellent work kept the score respectable as the Giants outshot the Broncos (4-3-0-0) by a whopping 40-14 count.

The Broncos led 1-0 after the first period, but the Giants scored three unanswered goals in the second period u including two on the power play _ to take a commanding 3-1 lead before a scoreless third period.

Both teams were looking for their second win in two nights. The Giants were a weary club after making an overnight bus trip back from Prince George while the Broncos appeared well rested following a game Friday in nearby Chilliwack.

Vancouver limited Swift Current to one shot in the first 10 minutes. But the Broncos took a 1-0 lead with 51 seconds left in the opening period as Schenderling beat Vancouver goaltender Tyson Sexsmith from a sharp angle during a five-on-three power play.

Repik evened the score at 1-1 at 7:03 of the second period as he stole the puck near the Swift Current blueline and raced in on a breakaway and beat Moir with a shot between the legs. Bliznak and Blum, both on the power play rounded out the scoring later in the middle frame.
