SERIES PREVIEW: Saskatoon Blades vs. Prince Albert Raiders -
For Saskatchewan hockey fans, the only three words sweeter than 'Game 7, overtime' might be 'Raiders versus Blades'. Of course, Game 7 overtime is how the underdogs from Saskatoon have set the stage for a second-round tilt against their bitter foes from Hockeytown North. Saskatoon, which entered the postseason as the sixth seed in the East, took out Edmonton on the road thanks to a timely snipe from veteran Rowan Calvert, while the Eastern Conference-leading Raiders only needed five games to dispatch the Red Deer Rebels- albeit also in overtime, thanks to Dallas Stars prospect Brandon Gorzynski. Prince Albert cruised to a 6-1-1-0 record against the Blades in the regular season, including back-to-back 4-0 shutout wins to close out the campaign. But the playoffs are a whole new game, and the Blades have already shown they're capable of late comebacks and pulling off an upset. The Raiders and Blades both scored 21 goals in Round One.

THAT'S PLAYOFF HOCKEY. The sixth-seed Saskatoon Blades have shaken up the 2026 WHL Playoffs with a 3-2 overtime win to oust the third-seed Edmonton Oil Kings in Game 7 of their first-round series. Edmonton Oilers prospect David Lewandowski dished the opening blow with a powerplay marker early in the second period. In another match with minimal room for error, the Oil Kings clawed back to a tie with a precision tip off a faceoff win before captain Gavin Hodnett gave the home side their first lead of the night with his first goal of the series. But the Blades wouldn't go quietly into the night as 2026 NHL Draft-eligible Cooper Williams nailed the equalizer 33 seconds later to force extras. That's where alternate captain Rowan Calvert blasted a powerplay goal through traffic to seal the series for the Blades. Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Evan Gardner made 29 stops in the clinching win. Three of the games in the first-round series required overtime. Saskatoon seized a narrow 3-2

The PA party will continue in Round Two. The Prince Albert Raiders edged the Red Deer Rebels with a 4-3 overtime win in Game 5 of their first-round series. A sea of skaters parted for rookie blueliner Brock Cripps to wire a sharp goal from the slot, and the teams traded blows before Nate Yellowaga levelled the match at three with a stunning equalizer with under a minute remaining in regulation. Dallas Stars prospect Brandon Gorzynski nailed the series-clinching goal with a wraparound dagger less than 90 seconds into overtime. Rookie of the Year finalist Cripps- a 16-year-old defenceman- paced his team with eight points (3G-5A) in five games, while projected 2026 NHL first-round pick Daxon Rudolph left his stamp on the series with seven points (3G-4A). 2026 WHL Trade Deadline acquisition Braeden Cootes reminded fans why he cracked the Vancouver Canucks' opening-night roster with a dominant two-goal, one-assist effort to cruise to a 4-1 win in Game 1.

SERIES PREVIEW: (8) Red Deer vs. (1) Prince Albert -
Will the 2026 WHL Playoffs serve as a coronation for the East Division champion Prince Albert Raiders? Or could the upstart Red Deer Rebels depose the formidable Eastern Conference leaders? If the regular season series is any indication, fans could be in for a matchup of razor-thin margins. Prince Albert and Red Deer split their four meetings with two regulation wins each, with the Raiders claiming victory prior to the New Year and the Rebels taking two off their opponents in March. From top to bottom, the Raiders feature a stacked lineup while ranking second in the league's overall standings and second in goals for, while entering the postseason as the WHL's stingiest squad. Nine PA skaters eclipsed 20 goals this season, headlined by San Jose Sharks prospect Max Heise's 29 tallies and closely followed by top 2026 NHL Draft prospect Daxon Rudolph with 28 strikes.

No team has repeated as WHL Champions since the dynastic Kamloops Blazers went back-to-back in 1994 and 1995. But the Medicine Hat Tigers would sure like to join them. After picking up the club's sixth Ed Chynoweth Cup win and a trip to the Memorial Cup Final, the Tigers clawed out a, somehow, even stronger regular season than the 2024-25 edition of the team. Medicine Hat rolls into the postseason as the WHL's top scoring team with 348 goals in 68 contests, with a 38-goal dropoff to the second-place team- the East Division champion Prince Albert Raiders. Eight Tigers have surpassed 20 goals, headlined by Bob Clarke Trophy winner Markus Ruck, who led the league with a 108-point (21G-87A) campaign. His twin brother, Liam, was just behind with 45 goals and 104 points. The duo has garnered considerable attention with their stock climbing ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft, but there's star power to be found up and down the Cats' lineup.

It's been a while. For the first time since 1971, WHL clubs in Edmonton and Saskatoon will clash in the WHL Playoffs. While the original Oil Kings franchise moved to Portland, this 2026 WHL Playoffs matchup sees the Blades and Oil Kings face off for the first time since Edmonton returned to the Dub as an expansion team in 2007-08. The third-seed Oil Kings come in with something to prove after seeing a 3-1 series lead against Prince Albert evaporate in Round One of the 2025 postseason, while the Blades are gunning to advance to the second round for the first time since advancing to Game 7 of the 2024 WHL Eastern Conference Championship. Blades alternate captain Rowan Calvert remembers that run all too well and will look to make an impact in his final trip to the playoffs. Calvert, 20, led Saskatoon with a career-best 31 tallies this season, while towering Calgary Flames prospect Hunter Laing and 2026 NHL Draft-eligible Cooper Williams also surpassed 20 goals on the season.
