PRINCE GEORGE, BC - The Prince George Cougars (10-9-0-0) got back in the win column, defeating the Vancouver Giants (7-8-2-2).

PG responded in a massive way, exploding for five goals in the period. Carter MacAdams, Riley Heidt (2), Cole Dubinsky, and Noah Boyko all scored for the Cougars to get up 5-2 after the opening twenty-minutes.
