Silvertips Bounce Back with Dominant 7-1 Win Over Vancouver
The Everett Silvertips delivered a commanding 7-1 victory over the Vancouver Giants at Langley Events Centre on Friday night, scoring two shorthanded goals and two powerplay goals.
Dominik Rymon opened the scoring with a shorthanded one-timer from the left circle, set up by Tyler MacKenzie’s forced turnover in the corner at 6:31 of the first period. Carter Bear extended the lead with his 21st goal of the season on the powerplay, tucking in a rebound past Vancouver goalie Carter Capton with 31 seconds left in the opening frame for a 2-0 lead.
Vancouver responded early in the second period when Brett Olson caused a turnover in front of Everett’s net and fed Adam Titlbach for a quick goal at 4:58. However, the Silvertips quickly regained control at 11:31 when Clarke Shaefer scored his first career WHL goal, redirecting a pass from Eric Jamieson in front of the Giants’ net.
Everett increased their lead further with another shorthanded goal from Julius Miettinen, who scored on a breakaway at 15:44, unassisted.
In the third period, Jesse Heslop made it 5-1 just 29 seconds in, assisted by Kaden Hammell and Tarin Smith. Miettinen added his second of the game on the powerplay at 9:20, collecting a rebound from Rymon’s shot at the blue line.
Tyler MacKenzie capped the scoring with an unassisted goal at 10:36, roofing a shot over Capton’s shoulder for his 20th of the season.
