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.
