Game Preview: WHL Championship Series, Game Four vs Everett
SETTING IT UP:
The season is on the line tonight for the Prince Albert Raiders. The Everett Silvertips took a 3-1 series stranglehold on the WHL Championship Series Presented by Nutrien on Wednesday. The Silvertips broke a 1-1 tie game late in the second period of game four and never looked back, as they won by a 5-2 final. Everett has scored first in all four games so far in the series.

WELCOME BACK BRANDON:
After missing nine games due to injury, Brandon Gorzynski made his return to the lineup one to remember in game four. The 18-year-old forward scored with 10:07 left in the second period, which tied the game at that point. In 12 games in the 2026 playoffs, Gorzynski has five goals and four assists for nine points.
THE CONTROVERSY:
Prince Albert had back to back goals disallowed in the third period of game four. Benett Kelly thought he tied the game, but the official had blown the whistle right before he scored, even though the puck was still loose. Moments later, Owen Corkish had a goal disallowed after Evan Smith had pushed a Silvertips defenceman into Anders Miller, causing goaltender interference. To finish off the script, Shea Busch scored shortly after, putting the Tips up 4-2, and putting the game out of reach for Prince Albert.
SPECIAL TEAMS STRUGGLES:
If the Raiders want to bring the series back to Everett for game six, the powerplay HAS to start clicking. Prince Albert is 1/12 over the last two games, and went 0/6 in game four.
UP NEXT:
If the Raiders win tonight, game six will be Sunday night in Everett. If game seven is necessary, it will be on Monday night at Angel of the Winds Arena.
