A near capacity crowd of 5,577 at CN Centre watched Brad Morrison score his second goal of the game with just 3:04 left in the third to give the Prince George Cougars a 2-1 victory over the Saskatoon Blades.
Morrison notched his first goal in the final minute of the 2nd. Jesse Gabrielle and Jansen Harkins set up both P.G. goals to give the top line six points.
Josh Paterson, early in the 3rd, was the only Blade to put the puck past Ty Edmonds.
Prince George outshot Saskatoon 41-30 with neither team able to tally on the power play.
