Standouts From Week 4 Of The 2026-27 WHL Season

Welcome to THN's "WHL Standouts Of The Week" article. In this weekly column, we highlight one player from each division who impressed over the last week. Here are four standouts from Week 4 of the 2026-27 season.

Cole Prelusky was virtually unbeatable this past week. The Victoria Royals goaltender stopped 64 of the 67 shots he faced in two games while improving to 4-0-0 on the season. The Royals are one of the league's deepest teams and could have a star in the making with Prelusky. 

Logan Stuart has taken the WHL by storm this year. The Lethbridge Hurricanes forward finished the week with six points in three games, which included a four-point outing against the Wenatchee Wild. With 12 points in eight games, Stuart has become the early favourite for WHL Rookie of the Year.   

Xavier Wendt was a brick wall this past week. The Tri-City Americans goaltender stopped 41 of the 43 shots he faced over two games while picking up his second career shutout. Wendt has been solid so far this season, as through four games, he carries a save percentage of 0.931. 

Filip Ruzicka continues to be one of the best goaltenders in the WHL. The Brandon Wheat Kings goalie stopped 87 of the 92 shots he faced while picking up three straight wins. Ruzicka is now 4-1-0 this year and has made 140 saves on 150 shots.
