Cats looking to claw closer to playoff spot south of the border

The Prince George Cougars are hoping a trip south of the border can get them closer to the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

After two losses over the long weekend at home to a pair of Alberta squads, the Cougars will hit the road for two games this weekend in the United States.

It all begins Friday night when they visit one of the top teams in the WHL, the Everett Silvertips. However, the Cats do own a 2-1 record against Everett this season.

Face-off is at 7:00 p.m.
