2026 WHL Playoffs: Clinching Scenarios – Tuesday, February 3
The Prince Albert Raiders can become the first team to qualify for the 2026 WHL Playoffs on Tuesday night.
While the East Division leaders are idle, they can still clinch a berth with:
-
A Red Deer loss of any kind at Prince George
Prince Albert (37-7-4-0) is on pace for its best regular season since 2019, when the club last captured the Ed Chynoweth Cup.
The Raiders lead the Eastern Conference and sit second in the WHL’s overall standings with 78 points.
In Northern B.C., the Red Deer Rebels (17-27-2-2) will look to play spoiler and earn a second consecutive victory to close out a B.C. Division road trip when they take on the Prince George Cougars (29-17-2-0).
The Rebels and Cougars will tangle at 7:00 p.m. PST at the CN Centre.
