鈥淔or as much as it is a personal record, I view it as a team record,鈥� Miner said after the game.

鈥淲e鈥檙e giving up minimal opportunities every game. Guys are selling out, blocking shots, and giving Drew and I the best chance to win games,鈥� referring to fellow netminder Drew Sim.

Miner didn鈥檛 come into the game until early in the second period, to relief Sim, and was spotless in 35 minutes and 30 seconds of work to extend his shutout streak to the 225 minutes and 48 seconds.

RECAP: A three point night for Justin Sourdif and Bryce Bader coupled with a record-setting performance from Trent Miner helped guide the Giants to their fifth straight win Wednesday against Victoria.
