KAMLOOPS — A game that went down to the wire saw the Kamloops Blazers come out on top and defeat the Prince George Cougars 5-4 on Saturday (Feb.11) at the Sandman Centre.

The Blazers were rolling early on in the first period, scoring two goals within the first six minutes thanks to Matthew Seminoff and Fraser Minten.

However, the Cougars would answer just three minutes later as Cole Dubinsky scores his 15th of the year short-handed making it his fourth goal in his last two games.
