WHL:
Tri-City Americans 4 Prince George Cougars 3
The Americans built up a 4-0 lead by the midway point of the game and then held on for the victory before 1,813 fans.
It was the 4th straight loss for the (6-10) Cougars, who conclude a 6-game homestand when they entertain the (4-7-2) Americans tonight.
“We were skating uphill in the first two periods.”
A slow start was the culprit in Friday’s 4-3 loss to Tri-City at the CN Centre.
