**WHL (Canada) | 4 October 2026**
The Wenatchee Wild edged the Everett Silvertips 3-2 in a Western Hockey League clash at the Silvertips' home rink. It was a tight affair that swung in the visitors' favour, snapping Everett's momentum from their double-header win over Wenatchee just a week earlier.
To be fair, the result wasn't entirely unexpected. Wenatchee had turned it on the previous day, beating Seattle 3-1 away, while Everett had blown a chance to build on their recent form. By then, the tension was palpable — two teams neck-and-neck in the standings, both with identical win totals but separated by a single game played.
The Silvertips had started brightly, taking the lead early and looking comfortable for stretches. But the Wild refused to fold. They worked a short corner in the second period that equalised, and then held their nerve when the game went to a shootout. Everett's goaltender made two crucial saves, but the visitors got their moment, and the incident went to review before Wenatchee sealed it.
In the standings, Everett remain fourth after four games with two wins, while Wenatchee move to fifth after five matches, also on two victories. Both sides sit on zero points at this stage — the season is barely underway. What matters now is the head-to-head: Wenatchee have taken the series, having lost both previous meetings this season.
The result cuts into Everett's confidence but doesn't derail their campaign. They'll need the points badly going forward, especially with stronger opposition coming. Wenatchee, meanwhile, have shown they can compete with anyone when the pressure mounts — something they'll need to maintain if they want to climb higher.
**Final Result:** Wenatchee Wild 3 – 2 Everett Silvertips
