NHL Scouting Reports
WHL: Moose Jaw (4) @ Swift Current (3)
This is such a close game that needed overtime and a shootout to decide the winner. Both teams went scoreless on the power play, showing a defensive effort throughout the depth in each of their lineups. This game was about who was going to break first, and unfortunately, the Broncos early penalties created some momentum for the Warriors and they capitalized on that momentum, but more importantly, were able to sustain it throughout the game.
WHL: Victoria (2) @ Kelowna (9)
The visiting Victoria Royals were no match for the Kelowna Rockets on this night as they were down 4-1 after one period and 7-2 after two with a final score of 9-2. Tij Iginla again led the way with a goal and five points, while Shane Smith added two goals and singles went to Hayden Paupanekis, Keith McInnis, Ty Halaburda, Mazden Leslie, Owen Folstrom, and Rowan Guest with his first goal of the season. Goaltender Josh Banini made 28 saves to earn the win for the Rockets.
WHL: Everett (4) @ Portland (2)
The close game with a ton of offense, with over eighty recorded shots on net, both teams traded chances back and forth. With four different goal scorers from the Everett Silvertips, it was the depth of their team tonight as to why they were able to come away with a win.
WHL: Vancouver (4) @ Kelowna (3)

QMJHL: Cape Breton (1) @ Moncton (5)
This game was dominated by special teams, with the first three goals of the night being scored on the power play. With eight total power plays on the night, Moncton capitalized on two of them, giving them momentum at crucial points of the game. Another big difference was the Wildcats best players came to play.
OHL: Soo (4) @ Flint (3)
The Soo Greyhounds visited the Flint Firebirds in a tightly contested matchup. Both teams traded chances throughout the game but were unable to settle things in regulation. A balanced attack was evident on the scoresheet for both sides, but it was Carter George (#32) who ultimately made the difference, stopping 40 shots to propel the Greyhounds to a 4-3 shootout victory.
WHL: Spokane (2) @ Kelowna (5)
This game had some intensity…a hard hitting chippy affair as both these teams could be playoff opponents with this game finishing with the Rockets prevailing 5-2. The Rockets had five different goal scorers but again it was again Tig Iginla leading the way for the Rockets with a goal and three assists. Shane Smith, Ryan Oothoudt, Keith McInnis and Carson Wetsch rounded out the scoring. The Chiefs got goals from Ossie McIntyre and Chase Harrington.
QMJHL: Charlottetown (5) @ Saint John (4)
Charlottetown should have won this game tonight after outshooting the Sea Dogs two to one. After almost putting fifty shots on net, they out chanced, out created, and out played St. John’s tonight. A couple of defensive lapses kept the game closer than it should have been.
OHL: Windsor (6) @ London (1)
The young London team were overmatched vs a deep Windsor line-up. Windsor stayed out of the box and played a dominant game 5 on 5 with extended cycles and zone time. Windsor veterans Liam Greentree, Anthony Spellacy, and Jack Nesbitt were strong in this one controlled the offensive tempo in a 6-1 blowout.

WHL: Wenatchee (1) @ Kelowna (5)
The feisty Wenatchee Wild jumped out to a 1-0 lead off of a power-play goal by Caelan Joudrey, but that was it for them as the Kelowna Rockets prevailed with a 5-1 decision. Captain Carson Wetsch led the way with two goals while Mazden Leslie, Nate Corbet and Connor Pankratz chipped in with singles for the Rockets. Harrison Boettiger made 25 saves to get the win in goal.
WHL: Spokane (3) @ Tri-City (0)
This was a lot closer game than even a three to zero score suggests. Spokane was able to open up the scoring on the power play, score an impressive even-strength goal and close the game out with an empty net goal. It was capitalizing offensively at the right time, combined with an impressive defensive stance. That the Chiefs were able to grab the win tonight.

WHL: Penticton (3) @ Saskatoon (5)
The pressure and offensive zone possession time that the Blades were able to apply early on in the game made it too hard for the Vees to make up. Timely power play goals combined with a perfect penalty kill, were major reasons why Saskatoon was able to get the win. All the while being on shot three to two.
WHL: Prince George (4) @ Brandon (2)
The Prince George Cougars visited the Brandon Wheat Kings. A 46-save performance from #30 Filip Ruzicka unfortunately wasn’t enough for the Wheat Kings, as #4 Carson Carels and #32 Terik Parascak were too much to handle, sealing a 4-2 victory for the Cougars.
USHL: Green Bay (8) @ Dubuque (4)
An explosive matchup between the Dubuque Fighting Saints and the visiting Green Bay Gamblers. The Gamblers delivered a dominant offensive performance, routing Dubuque 8-4 on the road. Leading the charge were Gavin Katz (#11) and Zach Wooten (#14), who each recorded two-goal performances to power Green Bay’s attack.
WHL: Lethbridge (3) @ Medicine Hat (4)
This was such an even game that needed overtime to decide the winner. Both teams scored three goals consecutively on each other making this for a pretty exciting finish. Medicine Hat had the edge, but Lethbridge had the opportunity, having seven power plays tonight and only converting on two of them.
