Prince George Cougars

Today's two-a-day WHL preview takes us to two teams that didn't make the playoffs.  The first of them finished dead last in goals scored (166) and gave up 257 goals.  The Prince George Cougars play their home games in Prince George, BC and are a member of the British Columbia division in the Western Conference.  Want to know why they finished last?  Not a single Cougar finished in the top 120 in scoring, with Alex Forsberg leading the way with 40 points.  If Prince George wants to even sneak into the playoffs, they better find some offense, and fast.  Their history suggests that it won't happen right away, as most of their NHL alumni is known for defense.  Among the NHL players to have played in Prince George include Zdeno Chara, Dustin Byfuglien, and Dan Hamhuis.
