Matchup #9 – Brayden Peters (Calgary Hitmen) vs. Kyle Crnkovic (Saskatoon Blades)
March 19, 2021 – Brayden Peters vs. Lethbridge Hurricanes
Calgary netminder Brayden Peters made his submission to the WHL Play of the Year showdown March 19 in Lethbridge, with the Hurricanes ahead 2-1 late in the third period and searching for insurance. The puck found its way to Lethbridge forward Noah Boyko at the side of the net, but Peters lunged to his left to get his catching mitt on the rebound chance to keep the Hitmen deficit to one goal.
March 13, 2021 – Kyle Crnkovic vs. Swift Current Broncos
Saskatoon’s Kyle Crnkovic was the benefactor of a saucer pass from linemate Colton Dach March 13 against Swift Current. Crnkovic charged to the goal mouth, then chopped at the puck as it bounced off the ice after being delivered by Dach. Crnkovic’s chip shot wound up in the top corner of the net 6:18 into the third period leveling the score at 2-2. The Blades would score again 37 seconds later en route to a 4-2 victory.
