Extra Hockey Required

The 2025 WHL Playoffs, presented by Nutrien, have been highly-competitive games as the pace and intensity have ramped up following the 68-game regular season. The Winterhawks have played nine games in the postseason, and four have needed more than 60 minutes to find a winner. The series with Prince George saw Games 1 and 4 go to overtime, with the Winterhawks dropping the opener at the CN Centre. However, Diego Buttazzoni's double-overtime goal in Portland's longest game in franchise history was vital to the team advancing to the second round.

Now facing the WHL's No. 1 overall seed and Scotty Munro Champion Everett Silvertips, the Winterhawks have played beyond the third period in the first two games. Trailing by a goal late in the game, Carter Sotheran (Game 1) and Kyle Chyzowski (Game 2) found the back of the net. Unfortunately, Jesse Heslop's and Julius Miettinen's goals over the weekend at Angel of the Winds Arena gave Everett the 2-0 series lead.

Goaltender Ondřej Štěbeták is playing his best hockey since arriving in the Rose City. The 2007-born, Czechia native stopped 33-of-35 shots in Game 7 against the Cougars and, in two games, turned away 85-of-92 Everett shots for a 0.924 save percentage.
