EVT 2 – MJ 1 (OT) (10-26-18): Wyatte Wylie scored the game winner 21 seconds after the opening face-off and the Everett Silvertips outlasted the Moose Jaw Warriors in a 2-1 overtime victory before 3,117 fans at Mosaic Place on Friday in WHL action. The Tips, guaranteed a winning record on their seven-game road trip, improved to 4-2 in six games since departing downtown Everett and also a 3-2 record through five games against host East Division clubs. Sahvan Khaira scored a crucial goal for the Tips to tie the game late in the second period, and Kindopp set up Wylie for the winner on a two-on-one rush. Dustin Wolf earned the win in net and lowered his goals-against-average to 1.80, best in the entire WHL.
