What We’re Watching – March 18, 2022
One month remains in the 2021-22 WHL Regular Season, and a busy weekend awaits us with 20 total games on the docket. Here’s a look at What We’re Watching this weekend as the chase for the 2022 WHL Playoffs intensifies!
WARRIORS CAN CLINCH
The Moose Jaw Warriors were part of the WHL Playoffs party the last time a post-season was conducted three years ago, and their run of playoff appearances can be extended to five this weekend with a win, and some help from a division rival. The Warriors have a magic number of four required points entering the weekend. As is stands, Moose Jaw can secure its post-season spot as early as Saturday with a win against the Regina Pats (7:00 p.m. MT, Mosaic Place) and a Prince Albert Raiders regulation loss.
Did you have fun last weekend?🔥

INTERIOR HEAT
For the second consecutive weekend, the Kamloops Blazers and Kelowna Rockets meet in a home-and-home affair beginning Friday in the Okanagan (7:05 p.m. PT, Prospera Place). The most heated rivalry in the B.C. Division opens two more chapters with the Rockets having won seven of the 10 prior meetings this season, although the last three games have gone the way of the first-place Blazers. Daylan Kuefler of Kamloops leads all scorers in the season series with 12 points (7G-5A), while Chicago Blackhawks prospect Colton Dach has excelled for Kelowna against the Blazers, scoring eight times in eight games against Kamloops this season.
