PENTICTON — The Prince George Cougars scored two short-handed goals in 12 seconds en route to a 6-2 win over the Penticton Vees Saturday (April 11) night.

Terik Parascak and Tyrone Sobry both scored while Riley Ashe was serving a minor penalty for hooking in the first period at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Those goals had Prince George up 2-0 less than seven minutes into the opening period.
