Taylor Gauthier’s stellar play in between the pipes for the Prince George Cougars continues to catch the eye of the Western Hockey League.
The 20-year-old from Calgary posted a 2-1 record with a 1.01 goals-against average (GAA) and .963 save percentage.
In 14 games this season, Gauthier has a 7-7 record with a 2.65 GAA.
He was selected ninth overall by the Cougars in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.
Gauthier was also named to the BC Division Hub’s Team of the Week.
The Cougars wrap up their season on Wednesday against the Kamloops Blazers.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Cole Schwebius turned aside 30-of-31 shots to lead the Kelowna Rockets past the Prince George Cougars 2-1 in the Western Hockey League on Sunday evening.
Alex Swetlikoff scored at 9:24 of the first period and David Kope added a second at 13:15 to put Kelowna in front 2-0.
Trevor Wong assisted both goals for the Rockets (9-4-1), which snapped a three-game losing skid.
Majid Kaddoura scored the lone goal in the third period for the Cougars (9-9-3), which have dropped two in a row since winning three straight.
It’s the Western Hockey League equivalent of when the Indianapolis Colts, the former Baltimore Colts, meet the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. The Prince George Cougars were the Victoria Cougars from . . .

The return of a full house of roughly 6,000 people at CN Centre for a WHL game or another major entertainment event appears to still be many months away.
It is reasonable to suggest, with most of the B.C. population vaccinated by some point this summer, (currently there are 2,000,000 adults that have been inoculated) the PG Cougars will be allowed to have some fans at their home games for the 2021-22 season, which is expected to start in October.
The question though is how many will be allowed into the building?
