For the first time in 2013-2014, the Prince George Cougars completed a weekend sweep at home. Todd Fiddler had three assists, and Klarc Wilson and Marc McNulty each chipped in with two points in a 3-1 Cougars victory over the Kamloops Blazers. Cole Ully had the lone Blazers goal on a third period power play.

After one period the score remained tied at zero, despite the fact that the Cougars outshot Kamloops 14-4. Kamloops starter Taran Kozun was very sharp making two or three very timely stops in the opening 20 minutes.

Prince George failed to take advantage of three early power plays, and as the midway point of the game approached the game was still without a goal.

That changed at 8:04 of the first when Marc McNulty skated wide down the right wing, cut in front of the net and placed a shot on goal. Taran Kozun made the first save, but the rebound jumped out to Klarc Wilson who buried it into the open net for his 15th of the season and fourth goal of the weekend.

Just over four minutes later, McNulty padded the Cougars lead with a power play blast from the point on a four-on-three advantage.

The Cougars continued to pepper the Kamloops goal with shots, but Kozun stopped everything else fired his way, keeping the game at 2-0.

Early in the third Kamloops found some life thanks to an end-to-end rush from Cole Ully. Ully went wide down the left wing, and stuffed a backhand past Ty Edmonds for his team leading 18th goal.

Zach Pochiro quickly answered though with a wrap around goal at the 5:21 mark of the third. The goal would need to be reviewed as neither the goal judge nor the referees signalled goal initially. But Zach Pochiro celebrated as if he had scored, and the instant replay confirmed that fact, giving Pochiro his 14th and the Cougars a 3-1 lead.

Kamloops had a few late power plays but were unable to bridge the gap any closer. The game ended with the Cougars outshooting Kamloops 40-20. Each team went one-for-four on the power play. Todd Fiddler ended the game with three assists, giving him 13 points in three games this season against Kamloops. Ty Edmonds was sharp in goal stopping 19 of the 20 pucks he faced for his 13th win of 2013-2014.

The victory gives the Cougars a 16-21-2-3 record, and moves them within three points of a playoff spot due to the fact that Tri-City was idle on Saturday.  The Cougars have won two games in a row for the first time since early October, and will now look to earn their third straight win when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds on Tuesdsay night at the CN Centre.
