Andrew Cristall has dominated during the 2025 WHL Playoffs. In 12 games, the Spokane Chiefs forward has led all WHLers with 17 goals and is tied with teammate Berkly Catton for the most points with 33. Thanks to this incredible run, Cristall finds himself inching closer to the all-time goals record for a single WHL Playoffs run.
According to the WHL, Blair Chapman of the Saskatoon Blades holds the current record for goals in a single post-season. Chapman set the record in 1976, when he scored 24 goals in 20 games. Overall, there have been nine players who have recorded at least 20 goals in a playoff run, with the only player to achieve the feat in the 21st century being Portland Winterhawks' Ty Rattie, who scored 20 in 21 games back in 2013.
Of the 12 games that Cristall has played, he has scored in 10 of them. He has two hat tricks and has scored at least twice five times. Cristall has also recorded at least a point in all 12 games, with the Washington Capitals prospect registering three or more points in half his outings.
Ultimately, Cristall will go down as one of the greatest WHL players of the 21st century. He is the only player since the 2000-01 season to record at least 400 regular-season points, while his 33 points this playoff rank tied for 46th all-time for a single post-season run. If Cristall keeps playing as he has, he could end the 2025 WHL Playoffs with his name in the record book.
Cristall and the Chiefs continue their march to the 2025 Memorial Cup on Wednesday against the Winterhawks. Spokane is currently up 2-0 in their series, and has scored 16 goals through the first two games. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm PT from Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
