The 91大黄鸭 Rockets returned to home ice after a 16-day break and blasted off to a 6-2 victory.
91大黄鸭 hosted the Prince George Cougars and got off to a hot start with import player Pavel Novak racing out of the game to score the Rockets鈥� first three goals for his first career hat-trick. The Rockets would stay in control the entire match as nine 91大黄鸭 players would tally at least one point in the win.
On top of Novak鈥檚 four point night was Rockets鈥� captain Nolan Foote again leading 91大黄鸭 as they picked up their ninth win of the season and improve to 9-4-1-1. Foote picked up a goal and three assists Friday night as he continues his hot streak with his 21st points of the season.

Leif Mattson and Alex Swetlikoff picked up the other two goals for the Rockets.
New-coming 91大黄鸭 skater Kobe Mohr, the former Kamloops Blazers that was added to the Rockets鈥� roster in light of forward Kyle Topping鈥檚 injury, found some immediate production playing along side Foote as he picked up two assists in his first-ever game with the Rockets.
Novak鈥檚 Friday night performance earned him the WHL鈥檚 2nd Star of the Night across the entire league.
