GAME RECAP: LeGall pitches shutout in Wenatchee, Tips win 3-0

WENATCHEE, Wash. — The Everett Silvertips spoiled the Wenatchee Wild’s Teddy Bear Toss game, as Raiden LeGall stopped all 29 shots in a 3-0 win Sunday afternoon at Town Toyota Center.

Shea Busch gave the Silvertips a 1-0 lead 15:15 into the second period, crashing the net and redirecting a Jesse Heslop shot to the crease for his second of the year in his second WHL game.

Dominik Rymon converted a defensive block into an offensive breakaway, shelving a wrister past Daniel Hauser to put the Silvertips up two 8:17 into the third period.

In desperate efforts to get on the board for their Teddy Bear Toss game, the Wild pulled Hauser for the extra skater with 3:10 left in the game. LeGall and the Silvertips clamped down defensively, with Nolan Chastko burying an empty netter with seven seconds left in regulation for a 3-0 final.

LeGall improved to 4-0-0 with the win, his first WHL shutout. The Silvertips are now 24-3-2-1, sitting atop the WHL.
