Scouting the Silvertips
This marks the third meeting between these two teams this season, with the Silvertips winning both previous encounters. The Winterhawks will be eager to claim their first victory against Everett, who have dominated the head-to-head matchups with their disciplined play and potent scoring depth. The Silvertips currently sit atop the Western Conference standings with a 10-2-0-0 record and hold first place in the division. Ranked 10th in the CHL Top 10, Everett has been an offensive powerhouse, riding a 4 game win streak.
Everett's depth and firepower are led by standout forwards Carter Bear and Tyler MacKenzie. Bear tops the team with 21 points (12 goals, 9 assists) in 13 games, showcasing his scoring touch and skill in high-pressure moments. MacKenzie is close behind with 19 points (10 goals, 9 assists) and has already proven his ability to net game-winning goals, including his recent clutch tally against Wenatchee. Defenseman Tarin Smith adds to the Silvertips' balanced attack with 17 points, largely coming from his impressive playmaking ability.
In net, Jesse Sanche and Alex Garrett have formed a strong tandem, with Sanche locking down a perfect relief performance against Wenatchee. Everett's special teams have also been a key to their success, posting a 22.0% power-play efficiency and an effective 75.5% penalty kill rate.
