“In the second (period) we turned the puck over too much, we didn’t win any one-on-one battles. We lost our work ethic, our composure. We went up 2-0 but didn’t come out and play after that,” commented General Manager & Head Coach Mark Lamb post-game.
Prince George is just 2-7 at home and 4-12-0-1 overall.
The Cougars host the (7-7-1) Victoria Royals Friday and Saturday.
