The Northwest Giants found themselves in a three-way log jam for second place in the B.C. major midget hockey league following a weekend sweep over the last-place Kootenay Ice.
The Giants defeated the Ice 4-0 at the Burnaby Winter Club last Saturday. The Burnaby-based club then downed Kootenay 8-3 in a Sunday morning exercise.
Mitch Crisanti led all Giants with four goals, scoring back-to-back markers in both the first and second periods.
Bantam call-up Jansen Harkins and Eric Margo both collected four assists on Crisanti's goal bounty.
With the wins, the Giants found themselves two points back of league leader Cariboo Cougars.
The Giants are currently tied with the Northeast Chiefs and the Greater Vancouver Canadians, all with 20 points.
The Giants and Chiefs have played two games less than Cariboo and Greater Vancouver.
This weekend, the Giants are in Nanaimo for a two-game series against the seventh-place North Island Silvertips.
Greater Vancouver plays Valley West at the BWC on Saturday at 7: 45 p.m.
