Anyone ready for a rematch? One season after Medicine Hat swept Prince Albert aside in the second round in its march to the Ed Chynoweth Cup, the Tigers and Raiders will clash again- this time, with a berth in the 2026 WHL Championship Series on the line. This time, the Raiders are entering as the Eastern Conference leaders and top seed in the series. Prince Albert is flying high after eliminating the rival Saskatoon Blades in four games, including back-to-back shutouts in Games 2 and 3. Vancouver Canucks prospect Braeden Cootes and 2026 NHL Draft-eligible Daxon Rudolph led PA in second-round scoring with five points each, including Rudolph's series-clinching goal at the SaskTel Centre. The reigning WHL Champions are also well-rested after completing a sweep of the Calgary Hitmen the same evening. Two of the Tigers' wins over the Hitmen were decided by a single goal, but the Tabbies continually came alive for late game-changing plays. Three Medicine Hat skaters (Bryce Pickford,

The Raiders have lived up to their nickname. With a 5-3 win on the road against the rival Saskatoon Blades, Prince Albert has secured a sweep and punched its ticket to the 2026 Eastern Conference Championship. With three quick goals from Braeden Cootes, Maddix McCagherty, and Matyas Man, the Prince Albert Raiders took a commanding lead and ran with it. 2026 NHL Draft Top Prospect Daxon Rudolph helped pad to the Raiders lead with his fifth of the season, before San Jose Sharks prospect Max Heise added the final dagger in the second frame. While the Raiders have flexed their scoring might throughout the series, it's their defensive stinginess that's taken centre stage. Top 2026 NHL Draft prospect Daxon Rudolph (NHL CSS: 6) and captain Justice Christensen combined for a goal and five assists in Game 1 as Prince Albert rolled to a 6-1 win at a raucous Art Hauser Centre. They did one better the following night, as WHL Goaltender of the Year finalist Michal Orsulak (NHL CSS: 2) stopped

The defending champs got ahead on the scoreboard early into the first with the help from 2027 NHL Draft eligible, Noah Davidson, and didn't look back. Third period goals from forward Kade Stengrim and veteran Ethan Neutens put the game out of reach for the Tigers. While the reigning WHL Champions are moving on in four games, the Central Division showdown was a hotly contested affair that was highlighted by stellar goaltending performances. Both teams traded goals in Game 1, with Calgary alternate captain Ethan Moore netting a late game-tying goal to force overtime, where Tigers captain Bryce Pickford scored his second goal of the game in front of a packed Co-op Place. Game 2 saw the Hitmen surge to a 3-1 lead before Kade Stengrim and

2026 WHL Playoffs Preview: 2) Medicine Hat Tigers Versus 4) Calgary Hitmen

It's an all-Alberta showdown in Round Two of the 2026 WHL Playoffs. The Central Division rivals from Medicine Hat and Calgary are ready to battle in the postseason for the first time in more than a decade. Calgary, which finished third in the Central Division, was the first Eastern Conference team to move on to the second round after completing a sweep of the Brandon Wheat Kings on April 2. The 2025 WHL Champion Tigers needed five games to move on after being stunned by the seventh-seed Regina Pats in Game 2 of their opening series. Medicine Hat took the regular season series against Calgary in dominant fashion with a 7-1-0-0 record, though four of those games were decided by a single goal and three required overtime or a shootout. The Tabbies are tied with the regular-season champion Everett Silvertips for most goals in the first round with 25, though none of the Tigers have surpassed three goals- yet. Jonas Woo, fresh off of setting a franchise record for single-season points b

The second-round series featuring two Central Division contenders was confirmed Monday night after the Saskatoon Blades upset the Edmonton Oil Kings in overtime of Game 7 of the final remaining first-round series.
