Alex Cotton, one of Vancouver\u0027s three overagers and a key to their power play, may not play Game 6 Sunday after leaving Friday\u0027s 5\u002D2 win in Kamloops with an undisclosed injury
The Giants , who grabbed the eighth and final playoff spot in the West by a single point on the final night of the regular season, already pulled off one of the greatest upsets in WHL post-season history in the first round when they beat No. 1 seeded Everett Silvertips , dispatching a team that finished 47 points ahead of them in league play in six games.
Two of Cotton’s goals and six of his assists have come on the power play. Vancouver’s man-advantage unit is connecting at 33.3 per cent after coming in at 17.7 per cent in the regular season. Pentecost had one assist in 21 regular season games with Vancouver. He’s played in one playoff game with the team, seeing duty in Game 4 against Everett, and recorded an assist.It’s been that kind of run. Winger Kyle Bochek, who split the regular season between the Giants and the Saskatchewan Junior A Melville Millionaires, got a chance at regular ice time in the playoffs due to injuries and was quickly getting top-nine ice time from Dyck.
Precious little has seemed to rattle the Giants through the playoffs, though. The latest example came Friday, when they trailed 2-1 going into the third period, with their season on the line, against a Kamloops team that was 38-1-2-0 when leading after two periods during the regular season.
