Logan Wormald, Leo Braillard and Kooper Gizowski tallied for the Hurricanes as their record fell to 4-1-1-0.
Ty Halaburda and Tyler Thorpe had the other goals for the Giants.
Vancouver outshot Lethbridge 31-30, with Matthew Hutchison picking up the victory for the Giants.
The Hurricanes are back in action Saturday, taking on the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Puck drop is set for 6 p.m.
