Outhouse has now tied, former Victoria netminder, Coleman Vollrath for the most games played in franchise history by a goaltender. He is also two wins away from becoming the first goalie in franchise history to reach 100 career victories.
Career First: Victoria forward Logan Doust, a North Vancouver native, notched his first career WHL goal, and point tonight. Doust appeared in three contests for the Saskatoon Blades last season, before he was acquired in the offseason by the Royals.
Going Streaking: In tonight's contest, both Royals' forward Kaid Oliver, and Giants' defenceman Dylan Plouffe tallied a point in their third straight game. Oliver has notched three points over that span (1g-2a), while Plouffe has recorded four assists.
Scoring First: With tonight's win over Vancouver, Victoria handed the Giants their first loss of the season when they have scored first. Coming into tonight's game, Vancouver were 9-0-0-0 when they opened the game's scoring. The Giants were only one of only two teams in the WHL, along with the Everett Silvertips (13-0-0-0), who were undefeated when scoring first.
Shorthanded: Tonight, Royals' forward Dino Kambeitz tallied his first shorthanded goal of this season, the team's sixth in total. Victoria's other five shorthanded goals have been scored by Kaid Oliver (2), Tyler Lees, Ralph Jarratt and Phillip Schultz. The team's six shorthanded tallies ranks third overall in the WHL, trailing only Prince Albert and Red Deer.
