Kamloops - October 19, 2013 - The Kamloops Blazers (4-8-0-0) were outworked by the Vancouver Giants (2-7-1-1) in a 5-1 loss in Vancouver on Friday night.

The Giants dominated the first period, limiting the Blazers chances and creating plenty of their own. Tim Traber put the Giants up 1-0 early on as he deflected in a pass past starting goaltender Bolton Pouliot to make it 1-0.

Pouliot left only 6:56 into the game after getting run into by a Blazers defender. Taran Kozun was called upon to go in.

The Giants held on to their 1-0 lead through one period outshooting the Blazers 17-7.

The second period did not get much better for the Blazers as they continued to struggle creating any offense. The Giants built on their lead as Dalton Thrower scored a power play goal to make it 2-0 for the Giants. The Blazers needed a big third period to have a chance in this one.

The Giants put this game away on the first shift of the third period. Some solid work by Carter Popoff led to him setting up Ty Ronning in front to make it 3-0. From there, the Giants built up their lead to 5-0 on goals by Brett Kulak and Alec Baer. The Blazers broke Payton Lee's bid at a shutout midway through the period. Aspen Sterzer dug at a rebound after a shot on goal by Sam Grist. Sterzer eventually potted his fourth goal of the season to make it 5-1.

The Giants won for only the second time this season, while the Blazers brief two-game winning streak came to a hault.

Taran Kozun took the loss in goal with 28 saves and four goals allowed in 53:04 minutes played. Payton Lee earned the win having a relatively easy night making 23 saves.

The Blazers finished the night 0-for-3 on the power play, while the Giants were 1-for-6 on the night.

The Blazers continue their weekend road trip with a game in Everett tomorrow night against the Silvertips.
