At a glance: Cougs, who are on a six-game losing skid, are assured of another last-place finish, their seventh straight. But Chiefs coach Mike Babcock is trying to convince his club not to look ahead to Saturday night, when Spokane is at Tri-City and second-place Kamloops is at Kelowna. “Prince George comes in with no pressure. They’ve got nothing to lose,” he warned. Leonov cracked the WHL’s top 20 in scoring this week at 18th.
