Notes: Vancouver plays without overage winger Matt Bellerive because of illness and defenseman Shaun Dosanjh because of an upper-body injury. Also, defenseman Arvin Atwal is out because of a team-imposed suspension and defenseman Josh Thrower will be a game-time decision, requiring the Giants to call up 16-year-old d-man Matt Barberis for the game. If Thrower can’t go, Ryley McKinstry will take his place.
