EVERETT, WA – The Prince George Cougars endured their fourth consecutive defeat on Saturday night, falling 4-1 to the league-leading Everett Silvertips at Angel of the Winds Arena.
The Cougars leaned on goaltender Josh Ravensbergen in the opening period, as he turned aside 19 of the 20 shots he faced. Everett opened the scoring at 6:08, but Prince George responded late in the frame at 17:43 when Terik Parascak buried a rebound from Bauer Dumanski’s shot, tying the game at 1-1. The score remained deadlocked after the first period.
In the second, the Cougars generated several prime scoring opportunities but could not find the back of the net. Everett regained their lead with a shorthanded goal at 8:29. Ravensbergen continued to deliver key saves, keeping the deficit at one through 40 minutes.
The Silvertips added to their lead in the third period, striking early at 2:40 before sealing the win with an empty-net goal at 19:14. Despite solid goaltending from Ravensbergen, who faced 40 shots in total, the Cougars were unable to solve the Everett netminder.
