In a nail-biting game 7 overtime thriller, Rowan Calvard scored at 723 in the extra frame to give the Saskatoon blades a 3-2. Victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings, clinching the first round Western Hockey League playoff series. The game a Rodgers place went back and forth all night, with both team swapping goals and the lead until the blades cashed in on an overtime power, played to seal the deal. Several Kings head coach Jason Smith owned the tough loss, saying his squad had their own power play shot in overtime but couldn't connect enough to close. It out-disappointing, sure, but part of the junior grind. Edmonton posted a stellar regular season, third in the Eastern Conference at 45 wins, 18 losses, and five ties, bouncing back strong. After two rough rebuild years, they even snagged the WHO title back in 2022. Now the blades roll into round two against rivals. The Prince Albert Raider starting Friday, keeping the playoff fire burning hot in the West.
