WHL: (PG Cougars)
Victoria Royals 3 Prince George Cougars 2 (SO)
Taylor Gauthier stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced on Saturday night against the Royals.
Down by one with 1:27 remaining, the Cougars pulled their goalie in favour of the man advantage. It’d pay off for the Cougars as Ryan Schoettler netted the equalizer while on the powerplay, forcing overtime.
A conclusion wouldn’t be found in the extra frame, however, as the game would wrap up in a shootout with the Royals taking the victory off the shot of Gary Haden.
