Prince George, B.C. — Brad Morrison scored with 20 seconds left in the third period to break a 4-4 tie and send the Cariboo Cougars to the 5-4 win over the Vancouver NE Chiefs and keep their perfect record intact at 6-0.

A solid first period saw the Cats pepper Chiefs goalie Nick McBride early and often. Tyler Povelofskie beat McBride just past the halfway point of the period on the power play to open scoring. Braiden Epp then scored his fourth of the season from Liam Blackburn to give the Cats a 2-0 lead heading into the second.  Epp then scored his second of the game on the power play early in the second to put the Cougars up 3-0.

But the Chiefs, despite playing without league leading scorer Matthew Barzal, battled back with two in the middle frame to make it a 3-2 game heading into the third.
