The Vees look to even their second round series with the Prince George Cougars at one game apiece tonight at the SOEC. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05PM. 

If you can’t make it down to the SOEC, catch all the action on Victory+, Summit 800 AM and Summit 98.5 Summerland. 

Series So Far: The Vees struggled to match the physicality of the Cougars in Game 1 and ultimately fell 4-1 despite outshooting Prince George 35-20. Noah Milford scored his first WHL playoff goal in the Game 1 loss. Ryden Evers had a team-high six shots and went 20/29 in the faceoff dot. 

Vees Player to Watch: F Ryden Evers: Evers is second on the team in playoff goals (4) and points (6) and will be a big part of the Vees returning to form if they are going to even the series tonight in Game 2. 

Fast Fact: The Vees lost back-to-back games just six times during the regular season but only once did it happen since the Christmas break.
