The Prince George Cougars made it interesting but ended up on the wrong side of a 2-1 decision against the Wenatchee Wild Saturday night.
“That one’s frustrating, we didn’t get to the eyes of the goalie, he saw everything here,” said Cougars Assistant Coach Carter Rigby on the post-game show on 94.3 the Goat.
“We get a little bit of a push after a powerplay goal, but not everybody was bought into our system, and just not good enough for sure to get a win.”
The 3,411 fans at the Town Toyota Center were treated to a goaltending duel.
Josh Ravensbergen was excellent for the Cats making 38 saves, but Cal Conway came out on top, earning his first WHL win with 36 saves.
“It’s kind of becoming a theme here in Josh is our best player on the ice every night and we need some guys to follow and step up,” Rigby said.
“We’ve got some good players on this team that took a night off and unfortunately this league is so deep right now and points are so important, we get older guys taking nights off like this, this is what happens.”
Wenatchee broke the ice in the second period with a pair of quick goals from Zane Saab and Aiden Grossklaus.
Aiden Foster brought the Cougars back to within one just past the halfway point of the third period, tipping home a Bauer Dumanski shot on the powerplay.
