The Giants lost 3-2 on an early third-period goal by Caleb Fantillo in Squamish on Saturday.

The Burnaby Winter Club-based Giants also dropped Game 2 of the series 3-1 in Coquitlam on Sunday.

Desi Burgart scored both Giant goals in the opening game. Nash Dabb tallied the Giants’ lone goal late in the second period in the Sunday loss.
