to make it 1\u20130. The Cougars answered in electric fashion on the power play at 16:38, when Gizowski wired home the equalizer. Just 12 seconds later, Shurgot gave Prince George the lead, helping the Cats carry a 2\u20131 advantage through the opening frame.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"1200\">The second period turned physical and costly. Aiden Foster was assessed a five-minute major and game misconduct for elbowing, and the Vees capitalized on the extended power play when Ryden Evers scored at 6:24. The Cougars were shorthanded for 11 minutes in the period but limited the damage to just the single goal, sending the game to the third period tied 2\u20132.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1692\">In the third, Prince George came out strong and at one point outshot Penticton 10\u20133. However, the momentum shifted dramatically at 14:10 when Corbin Vaughan received a five-minute major and game misconduct for a hit to the head. A subsequent penalty put the Cougars down two men for a full two-minute 5-on-3, and the Vees took full advantage. Nolan Stevenson scored his second of the playoffs at 15:44 before Penticton added two more power-play goals to pull away for the 5\u20132 final.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1811\">With the series now tied 2\u20132, a Game 6 at the CN Centre on Sunday, April 19 is guaranteed.

Aiden Foster capitalized on a power-play breakaway at 16:20 of the first period to give the Cougars the early lead. The Cats doubled their advantage late in the frame when Foster\u2019s strong individual effort set up Brock Souch, who tapped home a pass in tight at 18:51 to make it 2\u20130 after 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"1177\">Penticton responded in the second period with two goals just 10 seconds apart.

The score remained even through two periods.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1469\">The Vees grabbed their first lead of the series in the third period, converting on a 2-on-1 as Brady Birnie buried his fourth of the post-season at 12:15 to make it 3\u20132. Prince George answered at 15:47 when Dmitri Yakutsenak shoveled home his third of the playoffs to even the score at 3\u20133.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1721\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">However, Penticton regained the lead late.
