Cayden Glover got the game tied early in the third, and the Cougars cruised after that. Koehn Ziemmer broke his seven-game goalless streak with a power-play goal, and then Caden Brown added two late in the third, including an empty netter, to put the nail in the coffin and give the Cougars a 6-3 win.
