Cougars score late to salvage win over Giants

While the second period was scoreless, the Giants eventually responded with a flurry of goals of their own, scoring three times in just over five minutes to tie the game 4-4 in the third.

However, the Cougars wouldn’t give up a point or more goals. Tre Peck scored his team leading seventh goal of the season on a rebound to give Prince George the lead again. A lead they wouldn’t give up.

The Cougars improve to 4-7-0-2 on the 2026-27 Western Hockey League (WHL) season, good for 10 points in 13 games. However, they’re still at the bottom of the WHL Western Conference standings.

The Cougars return to Prince George Wednesday (Nov. 4) to welcome the Moose Jaw Warriors to CN Centre for a 7:00 p.m. start.
