A series win against the Kooteney Ice this weekend would lock up first place in the B.C. major midget hockey league for the Nortwest Giants.
With six games left in the regular season, the Giants currently have an eight-point cushion atop the 11-team loop.
The Giants lost a game to the opposition last week, dropping their first match in 21 games following a 2-0 shutout to the thirdplace Greater Vancouver Canadians on Sunday.
The Burnaby-based Giants opened weekend play with a 3-2 win over the Canadians.
Bret Higham scored the game-winning goal on a second-period power play - one of three Giants goals with the extra man.
Josh Thrower and Justin White scored a goal apiece in the opening period for the Giants. Braden Krogfoss recorded the win in goal.
In other major midget action, Greater Vancouver plays the Fraser Valley Bruins at the Burnaby Winter Club on Saturday. Game time is 7: 45 p.m.
