Prince George Cougars News Release


PRINCE GEORGE, BC - The Prince George Cougars stormed back into the win column with a commanding 8-3 victory over the Swift Current Broncos on Tuesday night at the CN Centre.

Eight different Cougars found the back of the net, while goaltender Josh Ravensbergen secured his 22nd win of the season with a solid 17-save performance.

Prince George wasted no time setting the tone, as Bauer Dumanski opened the scoring just 36 seconds in with his second goal of the season. The Broncos responded at 7:27, with former Cougar Carlin Dezainde tipping in his 21st of the campaign to even the score. However, the Cougars quickly regained control. At 10:23, Borya Valis set up Jett Lajoie on the power play to restore the lead, followed by a highlight-reel assist from Riley Heidt to Koehn Ziemmer at 13:19, making it 3-1. Dezainde struck again for Swift Current at 17:03, cutting the lead to one after an action-packed first period.

The second frame saw the Cougars turn up the intensity. Terik Parascak dazzled with an end-to-end rush, finishing with a slick wraparound for his 21st goal of the season. At 12:06, Riley Heidt brought the crowd to its feet-and sent them home with free pizza-burying his 21st goal of the year. The Cougars weren't done, as Viliam Kmec cashed in on the power play to make it 6-2. The Broncos managed to answer with a shorthanded tally at 17:29, but Prince George remained in control heading into the final period.

The third was all Cougars, as Matteo Danis (14:35) and Ben Riche (17:30) added insurance markers to seal the emphatic win. Prince George dominated the final frame, outshooting Swift Current 10-2.

With the victory, the Cougars continue their push in the standings and look to carry this momentum into their next matchup.
