An uninspired second period was the downfall for the Prince George Cougars as they fell 5-2 to the Kamloops Blazers.
The Cougars got out to an early start, with Leith Hunter springing Koehn Ziemmer for a breakaway goal before all of the 6,016 in attendance at the CN Centre could find their seats.

The rest of the period was quiet, before the Blazers exploded for four goals in the second period.
Josh Ravensbergen got the hook after the third Kamloops goal, he had let in three goals on 14 shots.
Borya Valis added one more for the Cats before the period ended.
The steal and the finish. 😘👌@CarlsJrCA https://t.co/Jnze2nxYiX pic.twitter.com/5rXsfwSzR8
