The Giants got a late goal from Aaron Obabaifo on a partial breakaway with 3:30 left in the third period to draw even after Lethbridge had rallied from a 2-1 deficit to take a one-goal lead.

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.
