Last Time Out

In their first meeting of the weekend, the Cougars struck early at the CN Centre, opening the scoring just over a minute in with a goal from center Brock Souch. The Hawks responded midway through the first, as Nathan Free set up veteran Ryan Miller for a blocker-side snipe to even things up. Portland's defense tightened in the second, limiting Prince George to just four shots-all stopped by returning netminder Ondrej Štěbeták. But the Cougars pulled away in the final frame, adding three more goals to secure a 6-1 win on home ice.

New Kids on the Rink

Eight players made their WHL debuts for the Hawks in last night's season opener in Prince George: Cameron Jacobson, Owen Chapman, Sam Spehar, Luke Christopherson, Will McLaughlin, Jake Gustavson, Finn Spehar, and Nathan Brown.

Additionally, forward Nathan Free recorded his first point of his WHL career with a primary assist on Ryan Miller's first-period goal. Free spotted the Pittsburgh Penuins prospect gaining speed on the rush and fed him a soft pass, setting up a blocker-side snipe.
