Previous Meetings vs. EVT This Season:

November 7: Led by a four point night from Kooper Gizowski and an OT winner from Lee Shurgot, the Cougars downed the Silvertips in Everett 5-4 in overtime.

December 19: The Cougars had a 51 save performance from Alexander Levshyn, despite losing 3-2 in Overtime in Everett.

January 11: Josh Ravensbergen's 40 save performance wasn't enough as the Cougars fall 4-1 to the Tips.

New Guys:

- After acquiring four new players ahead of the trade deadline, it appears that Kaeson Fisher, Koy Funk, Dawson Seitz, and, Tyrone Sobry could all make their Cougars debuts as soon as this weekend.

Getting Back to Full Strength:

- After getting back both Josh Ravensbergen and Carson Carels who provided an immediate impact to the Cougar lineup, the Cougars could receive even more reinforcements as captain Bauer Dumanski nears his first game action since New Years Day.

In Net:

- After a terrifici performance last night making 40 saves, we could see Josh Ravensbergen get the nod once again. If not, they could easily go back to Alexander Levshyn who played his last game back on Tuesday against Penticton

- For Levshyn, he has played 9 of the last 11 games for the Cougars. His last win came Dec. 28 vs VIC

On the Other Side:

- The Silvertips enter Prince George with wins in nine of their last ten games.

- The Silvertips own the WHL's least goals allowed with 94.

- 16 year old-sensation Landon DuPont enters tonight with points in 9 of his last 11 games.

WHL Weekly Report (as of Jan. 6)
