The Saginaw Spirit clinched a spot in the Western Conference Final following a 5-0 decision over the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in Game 6 that saw Arizona Coyotes prospect Ivan Prosvetov turn aside 34 shots for his first career playoff shutout.

Western Hockey League
For the first time since 2005, the Prince Albert Raiders are headed to the third round of the postseason after piecing together a 6-3 victory over the Saskatoon Blades in Game 6 in which centre Dante Hannoun led the way with a hat-trick, bringing his playoff total to nine goals in 10 games.
That's two for Hannoun and a two-goal lead for the @PARaidersHockey! #PAvsSAS | #WHLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/FyffpvG0Vx
