PRINCE GEORGE–The Prince George Cougars wrapped up their four – game homestand on a losing note, falling 4-2 to the Kelowna Rockets last night at CN Centre. The Cougars did come back from a 2-0 first period deficit, getting power-play goals from Ilijah Colina and Josh Maser. Colina scoring in the final minute of the first period to make it 2-1, and Maser scoring early in the second period to tie the game. Taylor Gauthier suffered the loss in net, stopping 30 of 34 shots.Down a goal in the third period, the Cougars could not manufacture a tying marker, as the Rockets held the home team to just four shots. The Cougars (3-8-0-1) hit the road for two games this weekend. Prince George is in Kennewick, Washington to take on the Tri-City Americans (6-5-0-0) before travelling back across the border to take on the Vancouver Giants (7-7-0-0) on Sunday afternoon in Langley.
