Monday afternoon in Edmonton, the Prince George Cougars fell 6-0 to the Edmonton Oil Kings. Edmonton scored twice in each period with Michael St. Croix leading the way with a goal and two assists.

Early in the first period the Oil Kings capitalized on a power play. Henrik Samuelsson beat Mac Engel with a one-timer from the left point for his 30^th goal of the season. Michael St. Croix assisted on the goal to earn his 300^th career point in the WHL.

Curtis Lazar made it 2-0 just past the half-way point of the period when he pounced on a rebound in the slot and placed a low shot past Mac Engel and in for his 31^st. Edmonton outshot the Cougars 12-6 in the opening period.

Michael St. Croix and David Musil would team up for two more Edmonton goals in the back-half of the second, and Curtis Lazar and TJ Foster would add some third period goals to clinch the 6-0 win.

Early in the third the Cougars had a few good looks at the net, but Laurent Brossoit turned aside all 20 Cougars shots he faced to earn the shutout. Edmonton would outshoot the Cougars 40-20 in the game.

The Oil Kings finished the game one-for-four on the power play while the Cougars went zero-for-three.

Next up for Prince George, a pair of home games this weekend against the Portland Winterhawks. The Cougars head into the weekend three points back of eighth placed Everett for the eighth placed playoff spot.
