Vancouver Giants road woes continued Wednesday night in Wenatchee, Wash. thanks to a 5-2 loss against the Wild.
This defeat leaves them second from the bottom in the western conference standings for the WHL, Wild being the only one out of 12 teams with a lower score.
During the mid-week away game, Vancouver scored the first goal 73 seconds in, but surrendered the next four, including three in the second period.
Then, with the score 4-2 for Wenatchee entering the third, the Wild added an insurance marker to make it a 5-2 final score.
Draft-eligible forward Tyus Sparks had both goals for Vancouver, his eighth and ninth tallies of the season.
The Giants were outshot 34-23.
Next up, the Giants battle the Penticton Vees on the road on Friday, before hosting the Everett Silvertips on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. The puck drops for the home game at 7 p.m.
