It was a very fruitful trip to the South Okanagan for Terik Parascak and the Prince George Cougars.
Today (Monday), the Western Hockey League announced Parascak is the Tempo WHL Player of the Week.
The 19-year-old from Lethbridge, Alta., recorded six points (4G-2A) in two games this past week, as the Cougars stormed out to a 2-0 series lead over the Penticton Vees in the second round of the playoffs.
Parascak posted three points (2G-1A), including the game-winning goal, in Friday’s Game 1 win.
The following night, the 19-year-old once again registered three points (2G-1A), including the game-winning tally, as the Cougars collected a 6-2 triumph.
With 14 points (7G-7A) in eight games, Parascak is second in WHL Playoffs scoring, trailing teammate Brock Souch and his 15 points (5G-10A).
Parascak was selected by the Washington Capitals in the first round (17th overall) of the 2024 NHL Draft. PG is back in action against the Vees Tuesday and Wednesday for Games 3 and 4 at CN Centre.
Puck drop is at 7pm.
