Hurricanes fall 4-2 to the Cougars to split a pair of weekend games
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. – After a 6-2 win in Prince George on Friday night, the Hurricanes entered the CN Centre arena again Saturday night with the Cougars in their sights. However, the big cats were looking to retaliate and struck first, at 3:27, as Jared Bethune took advantage of a power play to put his team on the scoreboard.
Just moments before the first goal, Canes goalie Logan Flodell was tapped for High Sticking, with the penalty served by Jordy Bellerive.
Shortly past the mid point of the first period, Keltie Jeri-Leon tied the game for the Canes with a backhand shot. Then, less than a minute later, Jake Elmer notched his 14th goal of the season and put the Canes ahead 2-1.
The hard-fought period featured 22 minutes in penalties, including a five-minute major fighting timeout for Jordy Bellerive and the Cougars’ Aaron Boyd, when Bellerive dropped the gloves at 17:10.
