The streak stops at six for the Prince George Cougars who fell 4-2 to the Tri-City Americans Saturday night.
The 3,210 fans at the Toyota Center in Kennewick were treated to a matchup that was tight right to the end, before Americans forward Connor Dale broke a 2-2 deadlock with just 1:29 to go.

“I thought the first period, we come out there and we thought probably we we’re going to win the game before the game started, and got a little slow, not much going on, not a lot of emotion to the game,” said Assistant Coach Carter Rigby on the post-game show on 94.3 the Goat.
“I thought as the game got on we got a few chances and made them count, but you don’t start on time you’re chasing, and that’s what happens.”
After a scoreless first period, the Americans solved Alexander Levshyn twice in the second, coming off the sticks of Grady Martin and Gavin Garland.
Dmitri Yakutsenak brought the Cougars back within one in the middle frame, whacking home a loose puck past Ryan Grout in the slot.
