WHL playoff mayhem, Prince George style, is coming back to CN Centre Monday night.
Josh Ravensbergen stopped 25 of 26 shots in the Prince George nets to earn his 10th win of the playoffs. Hudson Thornton overskated the puck in his own end and that allowed Portland to get set up and Marek Alscher ripped a low slapper that was tipped wide of the net by Gabe Klassen. The puck hit the end boards and bounced right back to Klassen who tucked it in on the short side.
Special teams were a huge factor. The Cougars remained disciplined, taking just one minor penalty through the first 40 minutes and their power play came through for them again midway through the second period. The difference in the Cougars was obvious and they showed what was missing the previous two games in Portland. They tightened up their defensive-zone coverage and didn’t allow the wide-open shots the Winterhawks cashed in the previous night. They got into the shooting lanes and blocked shots, they dove to break up passes and defuse dangerous-looking Portland rushes, and the forwards did not get caught out of position.
