Matchup #7 – Ben McCartney (Brandon Wheat Kings) vs. Carl Tetachuk (Lethbridge Hurricanes)
March 22, 2021 – Ben McCartney vs. Saskatoon Blades
Arizona Coyotes prospect Ben McCartney was the runner-up in the WHL scoring race during the 2020-21 season, finishing with 37 points. McCartney demonstrated finesse from in close on this play, going upstairs in a hurry against the Saskatoon Blades on March 22. At the 8:50 mark of the first period, McCartney dashed into the Blades zone, behind the defence, before cutting hard to the net and roofing a back-hand shot to put Brandon on the board.
April 9, 2021 – Carl Tetachuk vs. Red Deer Rebels
Carl Tetachuk turned in one of his better performances of the season April 9 in Red Deer, a game the Hurricanes won 6-3. The most stellar of his 28 saves came early in the second period with the Rebels on a 4-on-3 power play. A loose puck made its way to Red Deer forward Arshdeep Bains at the bottom of the right-wing circle, but Tetachuk dove back across his crease to deny Bains a goal that would have tied the game at 1-1.
