Everett Silvertips News Release


PRINCE ALBERT, SK - The Everett Silvertips finished their East Division Swing with a 4-2 victory over the Prince Albert Raiders at the Art Hauser Centre Saturday night.

Olen Zellweger opened the scoring on the powerplay 1:46 into the action, snapping a wrist shot home for his seventh goal of the season. Less than a minute later, Caden Zaplitny tallied his first of the game, beating Tikhon Chaika with a shot blocker-side.

Zaplitny grabbed his second of the period at 6:52, again slipping a shot past the blocker of Chaika for a 3-0 Silvertips lead.

Everett scored on three of their first eight shots.

Evan Herman and Keaton Sorensen would bring the Raiders to within one, but Zellweger's second of the game- a powerplay empty-net goal- would seal the deal for the Silvertips.

Tim Metzger stopped 18 of 20 in the win, the second of his career. The Silvertips finished their six-game tour of the East Division with a 4-2-0 record. Everett has never finished with a sub-.500 record in their nine trips to the East.

The Silvertips return home to play the Calgary Hitmen Sunday, Nov. 13 at Angel of the Winds Arena. Tickets are available.
