The 2024 Washington Capitals 17th-overall pick has launched himself to a new level in Round Two with six points (4G-2A) in two games against the Vees. The 19-year-old capped off a slick pass from Brock Souch for a shorthanded icebreaker at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Just 12 seconds later, Parascak teed up Tyrone Soby for another shorthanded strike. The 6-foot, 187-pound winger capped off a monster first period by one-timing a back-board rebound past Andrew Reyelts to put the game out of reach for Penticton.\u00a0Parasack has strung together four consecutive multi-goal games to bring his playoff total to 14 points (7G-7A) in eight games. He&#8217;s tied for the league lead in playoff goals and ranks second in points and first in powerplay goals (4). Parascak has already set new personal highs in playoff scoring, while bringing important experience from the 2024 WHL Western Conference Championship to the ice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267366\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-300x21.png 300w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-1024x72.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-768x54.png 768w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-1536x108.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>Kelowna 2, <strong>Everett 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EVT leads 2-0<\/p>\n<p>The regular-season champion Silvertips have yet to trail in this series, despite some stellar comeback efforts from the Rockets.

The 18-year-old scored twice, including the game-winner, to lift the regular-season champion Silvertips to a 1-0 lead over the Memorial Cup host Kelowna Rockets on Friday night. Vanhanen, who is ranked 76th among all North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, broke a second-period stalemate by ramming a Brek Liske rebound past Rockets goaltender Harrison Boettiger in the third period. He nabbed a secondary assist on his fellow Finn Julius Miettinen&#8217;s beautiful breakaway insurance marker before putting a cherry on the night with an empty-net goal. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound winger leads Everett in postseason scoring with nine points (5G-4A) in five games. He&#8217;s registered at least one point in every game, has two game-winning goals, and has only failed to score once. Vanhanen is a finalist for the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy for WHL Rookie of the Year and the Brad Hornung Memorial Trophy for WHL Most Sportsmanlike Player.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267366\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-300x21.png 300w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-1024x72.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-768x54.png 768w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090658\/EVTvsKEL-1536x108.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/b>Kelowna 1,\u00a0<strong>Everett 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EVT leads 1-0<\/p>\n<p>The Silvertips enjoyed a long break after sweeping Portland in Round One, but they didn&#8217;t miss a step as they handed the Kelowna Rockets a 4-1 loss to open the second round. The Tips combined for an all-NHL prospect goal for the first strike of the series, with Florida Panthers pick Shea Busch hammering a powerplay one-timer from Seattle Kraken pick Julius Miettinen and 2025 Detroit Red Wings first-rounder Carter Bear. Ty Halaburda, who will close his WHL career with 315 games played, levelled the match just 23 seconds into the second period as the Rockets pressured off the opening faceoff. But Kelowna wouldn&#8217;t get closer than that, as Vanhanen buried his first goal of the evening four minutes later. 2027 NHL Draft-eligible Landon DuPont made an incredible stretch pass from deep in his own zone to spring Miettinen for a breakaway and insurance marker before Vanhanen closed it up with an empty-netter. Everett held Kelowna to 22 shots and no powerplay goals, despite having five opportunities on the man-advantage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THREE STARS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1- Julius Miettinen, EVT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 1G-1A<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Matias Vanhanen, EVT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 2G-1A<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- Shea Busch, EVT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 1G<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267368\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090703\/PAvsSAS.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090703\/PAvsSAS.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090703\/PAvsSAS-300x21.png 300w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090703\/PAvsSAS-1024x72.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090703\/PAvsSAS-768x54.png 768w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090703\/PAvsSAS-1536x108.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Saskatoon 1,\u00a0<strong>Prince Albert 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PA leads 1-0<\/p>\n<p>The East Division champs bagged three goals in the first period and never looked back.

Projected 2026 NHL first-round pick Daxon Rudolph (NHL CSS: 6) doubled the lead as the young defenceman jumped up into the slot to snap his fourth goal of the postseason past Evan Gardner. The onslaugh continued as Vancouver Canucks prospect Braeden Cootes blocked a Saskatoon breakout pass to jump up and feed Alisher Sarkenov on a two-on-one rush. Dallas Stars pick Brandon Gorzynski, who scored the series-clincher in overtime against Red Deer in Round One, picked up the lone goal of the second period off another odd-man rush. From there, it was all gravy as Oiring and captain Justice Christensen converted on third-period powerplays just over a minute apart. Draft-eligible Zach Olsen (NHL CSS: 43) spoiled Michal Orsulak&#8217;s (NHL CSS: 2) shutout bid with a clean redirection on the powerplay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THREE STARS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1- Aiden Oiring, PA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 2G<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Daxon Rudolph, PA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 1G-2A<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- Justice Christensen, PA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 3A<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267369\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090705\/PENvsPG.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090705\/PENvsPG.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090705\/PENvsPG-300x21.png 300w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090705\/PENvsPG-1024x72.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090705\/PENvsPG-768x54.png 768w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090705\/PENvsPG-1536x108.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prince George 4<\/strong>, Penticton 1<\/p>\n<p>PG leads 1-0<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in club history, the Penticton Vees trail in a WHL Playoff series.

Jett Lajoie drew first blood after Kooper Gizowski prevented a clearing pass and sent Lajoie streaking to the Vees&#8217; net for a quick move. 2024 Washington Capitals first-round pick Terik Parascak made it 2-0 by tipping a Gizowski pass high on the powerplay. The Prince George powerplay is clicking at 55.6% in the playoffs to lead the entire WHL. Lee Shurgot kept the goals flowing in the third by snapping a rebound into a wide-open net after an Aiden Foster between-the-legs attempt. Parascak tallied his second of the night with an empty-netter, but Noah Milford ensured the Vees would get on the board by lighting the lamp with 1:02 left in regulation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THREE STARS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1- Terik Parascak, PG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 2G-1A<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Joshua Ravensbergen, PG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 34 saves, .971 save percentage<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- Lee Shurgot, PG<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 1G-1A<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267367\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090701\/MHvsCGY.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090701\/MHvsCGY.png 1920w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090701\/MHvsCGY-300x21.png 300w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090701\/MHvsCGY-1024x72.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090701\/MHvsCGY-768x54.png 768w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11090701\/MHvsCGY-1536x108.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Calgary 2,\u00a0<strong>Medicine Hat 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MH leads 1-0<\/p>\n<p>The goals came in fits and spurts, but Calgary and Medicine Hat delivered a banger in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal.

But as the clock ticked down, clutch Calgary alternate captain Ethan Moore ensured they&#8217;d play on by wheeling around the back of the net and ripping a high shot from a bad angle. Moore scored all four game-winning goals for the Hitmen in their first-round series against Brandon. But in the extra frame, captain Pickford reminded the crowd what a defender who scores like a forward can do. The two-time WHL champ called game after picking up a loose puck in the slot in a mad scramble to fire it glove side. Seventeen-year-old Eric Tu was sensational for Calgary, steering aside 40 shots to sit third among all goaltenders in saves (178) despite playing fewer games than the tenders ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THREE STARS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1- Bryce Pickford, MH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 2G<\/p>\n<p><strong>2- Carter Casey, MH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 27 saves, .931 save percentage<\/p>\n<p><strong>3- Eric Tu, CGY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 40 saves, .930 save percentage<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ON TAP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-267371\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11091447\/HFojLBfakAcrJUy.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11091447\/HFojLBfakAcrJUy.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11091447\/HFojLBfakAcrJUy-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11091447\/HFojLBfakAcrJUy-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/11091447\/HFojLBfakAcrJUy-768x960.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEED TO KNOW &#8211;
