P.G. goalie Josh Ravensbergen, playing for the 3rd straight day, turned aside 20 shots, while Jett Lajoie scored the lone goal in a losing cause.
“I thought we stuck with the game plan tonight (Sunday),” said Assistant Coach Carter Rigby on the 94.3 the Goat post-game show. “We made a few mental mistakes with some of their guys getting in behind our D. We’ve been relying on our power play to win games lately, and it wasn’t clicking tonight. We had lots of looks, which was great, but give Vancouver credit — they did a good job taking away seam passes and clearing rebounds in front.”
It was the third road game in as many days for the Cougars who earlier beat Seattle 4-3 in overtime on Saturday and lost to the Portland Winterhawks 6-2 on Friday.
The (9-6) Cougars are halfway through a 6-game road trip which will continue Wednesday in Portland, Friday in Everett and conclude Saturday in Wenatchee.
The Cougars next home game will be on Tuesday, Nov. 11th at 2pm against Victoria, the first of back-to-back games against the Royals at CN Centre.
