PRINCE GEORGE, BC - On his 17th birthday, rookie goaltender Josh Ravensbergen delivered another stellar performance, leading the Prince George Cougars to a 3-1 victory over the Everett Silvertips at the CN Centre on Monday.

Terik Parascak, Bauer Dumanski, and Zac Funk powered the Cougar offense, while Riley Heidt contributed three assists in the triumph. Ravensbergen showcased his goaltending prowess, making an impressive 28 saves on 29 shots.

In the second period, Terik Parascak netted a rebound in the blue paint, securing a 1-0 lead for Prince George at 3:32. Despite being outshot 14-5 by the Silvertips, the Cougars maintained their one-goal lead.

In the final period, the Cougars faced prolonged pressure in their defensive zone, but Ravensbergen's outstanding goaltending thwarted numerous Silvertips attempts. Bauer Dumanski increased the lead to 2-0 at 13:34, followed by a response from the Silvertips with a goal from Beau Courtney at 14:02. However, Ravensbergen stood firm, making crucial saves to preserve the lead. Zac Funk sealed the victory with an empty netter at 18:34, securing a 3-1 win for the Cougars.
