Some fans line up to get tickets to the Cougars play off game .

The Prince George Cougars will be home tonight for game three of their first round playoff series against Kamloops.

Although the photo above shows only about a dozen fans in line, at one point yesterday the line snaked outside the main doors of the CN Centre on to the sidewalk. Advance ticket sales hit 3376 by the time the box office closed last evening.

The Cougars have a 2-0 game lead in the series, beating the Blazers in two overtime games in Kamloops on the weekend.

It was the Cougars Nick Drazenovic who scored in OT on Friday night to give the Cougars a 3-2 win.

Saturday it was Devin Setoguchi who had the OT marker giving the Cats a 5-4 win.

The crowd tonight could be one of the largest the Cougars have seen all season. The Cougars are hoping fans will wear white, and the wackier the better as there will be a prize for the "wackiest white" outfit.
