The Prince George Cougars silenced the Swift Current Broncos and 2355 fans after a 6-2 victory at InnovationPlex arena.
Cougars assists leader and the game’s second star Brock Souch and first star sniper Terik Parascak worked in tandem, putting up 3 and 4 points, respectively.
“When those two are connecting, they’re working as a line together, they’re dominant.” said Assistant Coach Carter Rigby on the 94.3 post-game show.
“They cycle down low, they use their skill and their speed and they all can finish too so, when they’re going, they definitely lead our group.”
Broncos forward Brendan Rudolph would be the first to light the lamp 7:47 into the first period, but would be extinguished after Souch snagged his first of the night (15:17), closing out the period.
The Cougars would quickly end the home team’s night, as forward and third star Dmitri Yakutsenak picked up the teams first of four goals in the second period just a 1:32 in, followed up by Souch’s eventual game winner (4:44) and two more from Parascak (4:56 and 8:33).
Parascak’s second goal would also end the night for Bronco’s starting goaltender Archer Cooke, letting Aiden Eskit to finish the game.
