The Portland Winterhawks go 0-2 on their opening weekend in Prince George, losing to the Cougars 7-2.
The Winterhawks played a better offensive game than they did Friday, but were worse defensively.
It was a weekend with very few positives, mitigated by them missing 3 of their most important players, still at pro camps.
They have a full week before their next attempt at a 1st win of the season, next Sunday in Everett.

Scoring summary 1st 10:58 PG Carson Carels (Brock Souch, Kayden Lemire) 0-1
Cole Slobodian is caught at center ice after a pass into a scrum gets past, putting Portland short a defenseman in their own zone. That leads to an odd-man chance in front by Lajoie off a nice pass from Souch.
