LANGLEY, B.C. - The Everett Silvertips have taken a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference Quarterfinal, taking a 4-1 score in Game Four Friday night and sweeping the road set at the Langley Events Centre.

Kaden Hammell netted the game's first goal at 19:06 in the first period, a powerplay slapshot for his second of the series. Everett established a strong possession game from the get-go, outshooting Vancouver 21-7 in the opening period.

Samuel Honzek tallied a shorthanded goal at 16:38 in the second period to draw the Giants back to even, but the Tips responded in turn just two minutes later with a Jesse Heslop wrist shot. The Silvertips led 2-1 after two periods while maintaining a 42-16 shot advantage.

Austin Roest capitalized on a defensive miscue just 36 seconds into the third period, tucking a wraparound past Brett Mirwald for a key insurance goal. Parker Berge added his second powerplay goal of the series at 9:16 to seal a 4-1 victory.

Everett's powerplay finished two-for-six in the contest, while their penalty kill held firm for a five-for-five night. The Silvertips have killed off their last 12 penalties drawn.
