With the tilt tied at one in the first period, Roan Woodward tipped Sawchyn\u2019s wrister past Reid Dyck to restore the Edmonton lead. Sawchyn would get on the board himself eight minutes later with a quick powerplay wraparound for his 15<sup>th<\/sup> of the season. The Oil Kings alternate captain and Woodward linked up again in the second period as Woodward whipped a centering pass to Sawchyn in the slot for a picture-perfect redirect.

The B.C. Division visitors drew first blood just 38 seconds into the game, but Edmonton struck back less than two minutes later. Sawchyn dished to his younger brother, Lukas, who put a shot off a Kamloops defender and into the net. Gracyn picked up a second assist with a quick touch back to Ethan MacKenzie for his first goal of the year as Edmonton took its first lead of the night in the first period. Sawchyn\u2019s first goal of the night was a thing of beauty as he dipped around the Blazers defenders, created some space and abruptly cut towards the net to shovel a backhander high into the twine.

Division rival Vancouver Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria kicked off the home-and-away set at Save-On-Foods Memorial Arena on Friday, December 13. With the home side leading 1-0 in the dying seconds of the middle frame, the Royals made a strong play off the boards, with Hayden Moore poking the puck out to a wide-open Verhoeff on the far wing for a quick shot and 2-0 advantage. In the third, he picked up a primary assist by dishing to Tanner Scott in the slot for a 4-0 victory. Verhoeff was named third star of the night with a goal, an assist and a +3 rating.<\/p>\n<p>The teams jumped on the ferry for a rematch on the mainland the following night. This time, Vancouver would seize a 2-1 lead after the first period. Verhoeff put the match back on level ground by weaving through the Giants’ defence and lobbing the puck on net to create a long rebound off the pads of Burke Hood. The sequence kicked off a long stretch of offensive zone time for the Royals, which was capped off by Captain and Utah Hockey Club prospect Justin Kipkie\u2019s game-tying goal. Victoria would take a 4-3 lead midway through the third period before Verhoeff struck again off of a give-and-go play with Brayden Boehm. The rookie blueliner was named first star in the 6-3 win with his second straight multi-point match.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-4, 212-pound rearguard has 12 goals (including three game-winners) and 11 assists for 23 points in 27 games. Verhoeff ranks second on the Royals in goals, leads all rookie defencemen in goals and sits fourth in points among all WHL rookies.<\/p>\n<p>Verhoeff, from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., was selected by Victoria fourth overall in the 2023 WHL Prospects Draft.<\/p>\n<p>He recently picked up a gold medal with Canada White (including a primary assist on the championship-winning goal) at the 2024 World U17 Prospects Challenge in Sarnia, Ont. Verhoeff finished the tournament with a goal and four assists.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s eligible for the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals (17-10-3-2) enter the holiday break with points in seven of their last 10 games.
