WHL:
Kelowna Rockets 5 Prince George Cougars 4
The game summary is here.
Tomas Poletin scored the winner with just 7 seconds left in the game before 3,196 fans at CN Centre.
The goal came just 35 seconds after Kayden Longley tallied his 2nd of the night for the Rockets with the goalie pulled at 19:18 of the 3rd.
(With P.G. ahead 4-3 late in the game, Terik Parascak was in position to score an empty net goal, but elected to pass the puck which failed to end up in a goal. The Rockets quickly came back the other way to get the equalizer and game winner in the final minute)
“We looked like a real immature team,” said GM & Head Coach Mark Lamb on the 94.3 the Goat Post-Game show. “We weren’t doing the right things, tried to get fancy, and that’s what happens.”
The (4-1) P.G. Cougars host the (1-4) Tri-City Americans Saturday night at 6:00 and Sunday afternoon at 2:00 on Community Heroes Weekend.
