Andrew Cristall played a pivotal role in Spokane Chiefs' victory, scoring twice in a 6-4 win over Portland, clinching the Western Conference title for the first time since 2008. The Capitals' prospect showcased his talent by starting the scoring early and later adding to the lead with a power-play goal. With three points in the game, including an assist, he was named the WHL's player of the night. Notably, Cristall's impressive playoff run includes scoring in every game of the finals and sustaining an eight-game goal streak, highlighting his impressive performance throughout.
Cristall, the WHL's Player of the Month for April, found paydirt again with 3:51 remaining in the first period, scoring from the left circle on a power play to give Spokane a 2-1 lead.
After the game, the Chiefs were awarded the Western Conference championship trophy, which team captain Berkly Catton accepted. The Chiefs then took a team photo together on the ice.
Incredibly, Cristall scored in every game of the Western Conference finals, tallying seven goals in four games, including his second hat trick in Game 2.
Cristall kicked off the scoring 7:26 into the first period, turning defense into offense, and calmly faked a shot before going top shelf with his backhand.
