The Northwest Giants took three of a possible four points from the Northeast Chiefs in B.C. major midget hockey play last weekend.
The two teams played to a 1-1 draw at the Burnaby Winter Club on Saturday before the Giants prevailed 7-4 at Planet Ice in Coquitlam on Sunday.
Tied 4-4 heading into the final period, defence-man Trevor McLean tallied the game-winner with his sixth goal of the year, spearheading a three-goal third period for the Giants.
At home, Gavin Gould scored the Giants' only goal in the team's third draw this season.
The Giants improved their first-place record to 29-2-3, eight points up on current second-place club Cariboo Cougars.
The Cougars took their two-game series from the Okanagan Rockets in an important weekend for the two top-three clubs.
The Chiefs clawed one point closer to the Rockets with the tie against the Giants.
This weekend, the Giants are in Nanaimo for a two-game set against the North Island Silvertips.
