Despite being down four forwards, the Prince George Cougars came up with their grittiest effort of the season.
Connor Bowie and Koehn Ziemmer each potted their seventh of the shortened campaign in a 2-1 win against the Kelowna Rockets Tuesday at Prospera Place.
Ziemmer opened the scoring at the 7:08 mark of the opening period coming off the far half wall, backhanding a floating puck past Rockets netminder Cole Schwebius for a 1-0 lead.
In the second, the Cougars continued their patient yet aggressive approach on the forecheck as Bowie cashed in on the penalty kill, taking full advantage of a 2-on-1 rush.

Keaton Dowhaniuk is only 15 games into his Western Hockey League career for the Prince George Cougars but already has the look of a star blueliner.
The 16-year-old was oozing with confidence on Wednesday during a 5-1 win over the Kamloops Blazers at Sandman Centre collecting a goal and three assists.
“Pucks were bouncing my way all game, that helps and I was feeling good and fresh out there. I have definitely felt comfortable since the first game, I know that is a big part of my game and I have kind of been feeling it all year.”
