Eastman scored his first of the night midway through the middle frame to double the Cougars’ lead. It was a case of following the bouncing puck, as he scored after a scramble in front of the Victoria net. Ryker Singer was stopped not once but twice, including hitting the crossbar, but Eastman eventually scored into a gaping net at 11:10. Eastman picked up in the third where he left off in the second.

The power forward put Prince George up 3-0 nearly six minutes into the third. On the power-play, Eastman redirected Ethan Samson’s blast from the blue-line whilst camped out at the top of the Royals’ crease.

MacAdams put the finishing touches on the scoring 74-seconds later, as he buried his second of the game at 7:13 to make it 4-0. Connor Bowie walked out of the corner and tried to jam the puck on in but MacAdams was there to follow up and shovelled in the rebound from inside the blue paint.

Brennan was at his best in the final minutes of regulation when the Royals were on an extended five-on-three. The 18-year-old stopped all 13 shots he faced in the third, en route to his second career shutout.

The Cougars will now look to face the BC Division-leading Kamloops Blazers at home this coming Saturday.
