The Cougars netted a pair of goals in the second period and took a lead over the Ams for the remainder of the evening. Zac Funk and Bauer Dumanski led the Cougars with a pair of goals each. It was Dumanski's first multi-goal WHL game. Tomas Suchanek made numerous outstanding saves for the Ams, turning aside 28 of 33 shots faced.
An Americans win tonight will force a Game 7 on Tuesday in Prince George.
