PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have held serve at home in Round 1 of the WHL playoffs.

Seven players registered goals for the Cats in a 7-4 victory over the Spokane Chiefs on Saturday (March 30) at CN Centre.

The Cougars lead 2-0 in the best-of-seven series, with Game 3 scheduled for Tuesday in Spokane.

A crowd of nearly 6,000 was at the game on Saturday and watched the home team take a 6-0 lead after two periods.

Spokane tallied four third-period goals, but Terik Parascak’s empty-net marker with less than a minute remaining in regulation iced the game for the Cougars.
