Cougars forward Nick Buonassisi put Prince George on top with a breakaway goal after coming out of the penalty box midway through the second period for a 3-2 lead. Kelowna's Kyle St. Denis tipped in a power play marker on a nice pass from Shane McColgan to tie the game at 3-3 and send the team's to the dressing room locked in a tie through 40 minutes
