Spokane Chiefs 4, Vancouver Giants 1 Spokane ends a 10-game, six-year playoff victory drought and take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series with Vancouver. Goals by Oremba, Sarkenov and Cristall, who had two (including an empty netter). Game 2 is at 4 p.m. Sunday in Langley, BC
Dawson Cowan picked a convenient time to knock his own net off its moorings. Chiefs still hold a 3-1 lead at Vancouver, under 6 minutes to go.
