Beck Warm was hot in leading the Tri-City Americans to a 5-1 victory over the Prince George Cougars.

The 19-year-old Americans goaltender, named the first star, made 35-saves before just 2,162 fans Tuesday night at the CN Centre.

Taylor Gauthier struggled in the Cougars net blocking just 23 of 28 shots.

The Americans scored the only goal in the second period, and it turned out to be the winner from Brett Clayton.

Tri-City added three more unanswered goals in the third, two of them on rebounds, to cap the victory and improve to 2-0 on an 11-game road trip.

The only PG tally came from captain Josh Curtis, his fifth goal and seventh point in the last five games.

The loss snapped the Cats three-game win streak.

Both teams again struggled on the power play going 0-4.

The 7-4 Americans have the second-worst power-play in the WHL at 16%, only ahead of the Cougars who sit at just 8 % (going 4-for-50).

The same two teams play again tonight as Prince George concludes a three-game homestand.

The 5-6-0-1 Cougars are third in the BC Division, a point ahead of the 5-10 Kelowna Rockets and four points in front of the 3-6-0-1 Kamloops Blazers.

SCORING:

Cougars = Josh Curtis (1G), Josh Maser (1A) Joel Lakusta (1A)

Americans = Riley Sawchuk (1G, 1A), Blake Stevenson (1G, 1A), Connor Bouchard (2A), Nolan Yaremko (2A), Parker AuCoin (1G), Brett Clayton (1G), Wil Kushniryk (1G), Krystof Hrabik (1A), Roman Kalinichenko (1A), Sasha Mutala (1A).
