This recurring article will be released throughout the playoffs, providing summaries of action from the WHL post-season. Here is a look at the eight games from March 29. Lethbridge Hurricanes 4, Brandon Wheat Kings 3 Lethbridge Leads Series 2-0 The Lethbridge Hurricanes continued their winning ways with a 4-2 Game 2 victory over the Brandon Wheat Kings. This was a close game throughout, with the Wheat Kings outshooting the Hurricanes 28-26 on the night. In the end, defenceman Carsen Adair's first career playoff goal was the difference as the series now shifts to Brandon. 3 Stars: Lethbridge: Brayden Yager- 2 Goals Lethbridge: Vojtech Port- 2 Assists Brandon: Jaxon Jacobson- 1 Assist Prince Albert Raiders 6, Edmonton Oil Kings 1 Series Tied 1-1 After dropping Game 1, the Prince Albert Raiders responded in a big way, defeating the Edmonton Oil Kings 6-1 in Game 2. Goaltending was the story for the Raiders as Max Hildebrand stopped 42 of the 43 shots he faced. In the end, 11 of Prince Albert's skaters recorded points, with five having multi-point nights. 3 Stars: Prince Albert: Max Hildebrand- 42 Saves On 43 Shots Prince Albert: Niall Crocker- 2 Goals Prince Albert: Daxon Rudolph- 3 Assists Medicine Hat Tigers 6, Swift Current Broncos 3 Medicine Hat Leads Series 2-0 It was the Gavin McKenna show in Game 2 as the 2026 NHL Draft prospect recorded a five-point night. Through two games, McKenna is up to eight points, which is tied for the CHL lead so far this year. Combine McKenna's strong play with another solid performance from Harrison Meneghin, and it is no wonder that the Medicine Hat Tigers have a 2-0 lead early in the series. 3 Stars: Medicine Hat Tigers: Gavin McKenna- 1 Goal, 4 Assists Medicine Hat Tigers: Ryder Ritchie- 2 Goals, 2 Assists Medicine Hat Tigers: Oasiz Wiesblatt- 2 Goals, 1 Assist Everett Silvertips 3, Seattle Thunderbirds 2 (OT) Series Tied 1-1 The Everett Silvertips and Seattle Thunderbirds game was thrilling from start to finish. In the end, defenceman Eric Jamieson played hero, as he scored his first of the playoffs at the 7:33 mark of overtime. If the first two games are indicators of how this series will go, fans in Everett and Seattle will be spoiled in the first round. 3 Stars: Everett: Eric Jamieson- 1 Goal, 1 Assist Everett: Austin Roest- 1 Goal, 1 Assist Seattle: Nathan Pilling- 1 Goal, 1 Assist Victoria Royals 6, Tri-City Americans 2 Victoria Leads Series 2-0 The Victoria Royals put together an impressive 6-2 performance to go up 2-0 in the series against the Tri-City Americans. Victoria's top players showed up in a big way, with both Teydon Trembecky and Cole Reschny recording 3+ point nights. From high-octane offence to solid defensive play, the Royals have made life extremely difficult for Tri-City through the first two games of this series. 3 Stars: Victoria: Teydon Trembecky- 1 Goal, 4 Assists Victoria: Cosmo Wilson- 3 Assists Victoria: Cole Reschny - 2 Goals, 1 Assist Portland Winterhawks 5, Prince George Cougars 2 Series Tied 2-2 After a heartbreaking overtime loss in Game 1, the Portland Winterhawks rebounded with a 5-2 victory over the Prince George Cougars in Game 2. Tyson Jugnauth and Diego Buttazzoni led the way for Portland, with each recording at least three points on the night. As expected, this series is going to be close throughout, with the teams looking destined for a Game 7. 3 Stars: Portland: Tyson Jugnauth- 1 Goal, 3 Assists Portland: Diego Buttazzoni- 2 Goals, 1 Assist Prince George: Viliam Kmec- 1 Goal Prince George Cougars vs Portland Winterhawks (Photo Credit: James Doyle/Prince George Cougars/WHL) [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/e18daf7a-f9b7-4b75-b6f7-3a0585839c3e.jpeg] Prince George Cougars vs Portland Winterhawks (Photo Credit: James Doyle/Prince George Cougars/WHL) Sunday, March 30 Games: Saskatoon @ Calgary- 2 pm MT Spokane @ Vancouver- 4 pm PT Make sure you bookmark THN's WHL site and add us to your favourites on Google News [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen] for the latest news, exclusive interviews, breakdowns, and so much more.
