Prince George opened the scoring at 7:56 of the first period during four-on-four play. Carson Carels set up Brock Souch with a perfect pass to the left circle, where Souch buried his 25th goal of the season to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. Spokane responded on the power play at 11:32, when Rhett Sather blasted a one-timer from the point to tie the game 1-1 heading into the first intermission.
The Cougars took control in the second period. Terik Parascak restored the lead at 8:38 on the power play, redirecting a Carson Carels pass past Carter Esler to make it 2-1.
