For the Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goalie David Tendeck made 49 saves to lead the Vancouver Giants to a 2-1 overtime win over the Seattle Thunderbirds at the Langley Events Centre in British Columbia on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The T-Birds play the Portland Winterhawks in back-to-back games this weekend. The two teams are at the accesso ShoWare Center for a 6:05 p.m. game Saturday. The rivals move to Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Sunday for a 5 p.m. puck drop. Both games will be televised on JOEtv on Channel 22\/Cable 110 in Seattle. Ian Furness and Andy Johnson will have the call of both games.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Vancouver (29-17-5-3) took a 1-0 lead at 6:13 of the second period on a goal from Ty Ronning. Davis Koch and Brayden Watts had the assists.<\/p>\n

The T-Birds outshot the Giants 19-4 in the second period and led 34-15 in shots after two periods.<\/p>\n

Seattle (27-18-6-2) tied the game 1-1 at 10:27 of the third period. Austin Strand passed the puck up the right wing to Payton Mount. Mount slipped the puck to Noah Philp in the neutral zone to create a 2-on-1 break with Samuel Huo. Philp skated at Tendeck and beat the goalie over the glove with a snap shot for his 12th goal of the year.<\/p>\n

The assist was Mount’s first point as a T-Bird. Mount was the T-Birds’ first-round pick in the 2017 Bantam Draft.<\/p>\n

The T-Birds had a 49-19 advantage in shots after three periods by outshooting the Giants 15-4 in the third period.<\/p>\n

Ronning won the game 1:42 into overtime when he forced a turnover to create a breakaway. Ronning beat Seattle goalie Liam Hughes just under the cross bar.<\/p>\n

Hughes finished the game with 19 saves on 21 shots and his record is 10-6-3-1.<\/p>\n

Tendeck’s record is now 20-10-2-2.<\/p>\n

Single-game tickets for the season are on sale on the T-Birds website<\/a> and at the ShoWare box office.<\/p>\n
