The Saskatoon Blades were stifled Friday night at SaskTel Centre, blanked 4-0 by the visiting Prince George Cougars.

Leading scorer David Lewandowski didn’t leave the bench in the third period due to illness, with defenceman Kaden Allan missing a second straight game due to sickness plus injuries continue to sideline defenceman Derek Thurston plus a forward line of Zach Olsen, Hayden Harsanyi and Dustin Willhoft. A pair of three-game winning streaks came to an end for the Bridge City Bunch. The Blue and Gold had won their last three games prior to Friday and had won the last three head-to-head meetings with P-G. San Jose first round draft pick in 2025 Joshua Ravensbergen stopped 21 shots for his third shutout of the campaign while top five 2026 N-H-L Draft prospect, defenceman Carson Carels, paced the Cats with a goal and two assists. The loss, coupled with Brandon’s 4-1 home triumph over Regina, leaves the Blades five points back of the Wheat Kings for second place in the East Division and fifth spot in the Eastern Conference with just eight games remaining in the regular-season. The first of those is a Saturday visit to Regina at 6 o’clock. CJWW’s broadcast begins at 5:45.
