COMPLETE BOX SCORE

The Raiders opened the scoring for the first time on this road trip as Crocker was able to put the puck in the back of the net early.

Vancouver kept battling though and managed to build some momentum which led to them tying the game. Bruce got his first in a Giants uniform midway through the period to tie it at one after the first twenty.

The second period was all Green and Gold as the Raiders both outscored and outshot Vancouver. PA limited the Giants to just three shots in the middle frame while the Raiders tallied a whopping 18. The effort on the offensive end paid off on the man advantage when Sorensen capped off the solo effort for his 17th of the year.

Kosior tallied an insurance marker to double the lead in the final frame before Herman extended his goal streak to three games via an empty net goal as the Raiders took it 4-1.

PA now gets a day’s rest before making a stop in Kamloops to take on the Blazers on Friday night. Puck drop is at 9:00 p.m.
