EVERETT, Wash. - The Vancouver Giants blanked the Everett Silvertips at Angel of the Winds Arena Saturday night, grabbing a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference Quarterfinal.

Adam Hall scored the lone goal of the first period at 10:42, collecting a loose puck in his own zone after a face-off and charging down the length of the ice to beat Braden Holt for his sixth goal of the series.

The score would hold until 7:48 in the third period, as Fabian Lysell tapped in a loose puck after a sprawling Holt save for his fourth of the series. Connor Horning would ice the game with a powerplay goal as Holt had begun to make his way to the bench for an extra skater.

Jesper Vikman registered 50 saves in the shutout, career high in saves for the Vegas Golden Knights prospect in the Western Hockey League.

Game Six is scheduled for Monday at Langley Events Centre at 7 p.m. PDT. Game Seven, if necessary, will be played Wednesday night at Angel of the Winds Arena at 7 p.m. PDT.
