The Hitmen continued their dominance of Saskatoon on Sunday night, as two quick goals midway through the first period set the tone for the rest of the game. Calgary would put up four unanswered through two periods, and while the Blades got one on the board courtesy of Grayden Siepmann, it wasn't enough and Calgary skated away with a 5-1 victory heading into their road portion of the series,

Credit: Rob Wilton // Spokane ChiefsThis was easily the most nerve-wracking game of the playoffs so far, regardless of what team you support. Spokane got out to a massive lead, scoring six unanswered goals, but 1:02 into the third period, Vancouver kicked off a massive comeback- coming to within one goal. Unfortunately for the Giants, the home side came out on top as the Chiefs would add an empty netter to take a 7-5 decision and a 2-0 series lead.
3 Stars:
Spokane: Mathis Preston- 3 Goals (first ever WHL playoff goal)
Vancouver: Cameron Schmidt- 1 Goal, 3 Assists
