Daxon Rudolph has been suspended for one game.
The Prince Albert Raiders will be without defenceman Daxon Rudolph for Game 3 of the 2026 WHL Final. The 18-year-old has been suspended for one game after receiving a cross-checking major and a game misconduct during Game 2. The incident occurred late in the third, with Rudolph receiving the penalties at 18:58.
Losing Rudolph for one game is a massive blow for the Raiders. In 17 games, the 2026 NHL Draft prospect has 26 points, which ranks first in the WHL. Rudolph is currently on a six-game point streak and has three points along with eight shots in two games during the WHL Final.
Game 3 of the 2026 WHL Final is scheduled for Tuesday, May 11 in Prince Albert. The series is tied at one after the Everett Silvertips took Game 2 by a score of 6-2. Tuesday's game is scheduled for 7:30 pm MT and will be broadcast on both TSN and Victory +.
