Reid Perepeluk of the Prince George Cougars is stymied on a breakaway chance by Everett Silvertips goalie Dustin Wolf during the Monday-Tuesday doubleheader at CN Centre between the WHL teams. The Silvertips defeated the Cougars 4-1 in the opener and 4-1 on Tuesday night thanks to three unanswered goals in the third period. The Cats (16-35-4-3) have now gone 17 games without a victory and are buried at the bottom of the B.C. Division and Western Conference standings. The U.S. Division-leading Silvertips – who also sit atop the Western Conference – improved to 41-14-1-2. Next up for the Cougars are road games in Kamloops (Friday) and Everett (Saturday). – Citizen photo by James Doyle
