The Prince George Cougars are hoping they'll be playing an extra game this WHL season.

The Cougars are still mathematically alive for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but it would involved a tie between them, Seattle and Everett. If that happened, Everett would lose out by having fewer regular-seaosn wins than the other two, and then Seattle and Prince George would have a one-game playoff early next week to determine eighth place.
