LAST TIME OUT:

EVT 1 – SEA 0 (OT) (10-12-19): Gage Goncalves’ steal and breakaway goal at 2:21 ended a thriller in downtown Everett as the Everett Silvertips defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds, 1-0 in sudden death overtime before a sellout crowd of 8,256 at Angel of the Winds Arena on Saturday in WHL action. The Tips, drawing their largest crowd for Pink The Rink in seven years, staged the game as a fundraising initiative to support breast cancer prevention and treatment measures in Snohomish County, had Dustin Wolf earn his 13^th career shutout on 35 saves while the Tips extended a regular season home shutout streak of Seattle to 127:21.

SHOTS: SEA 35 | EVT 25

DID YOU KNOW?
1) WELCOME, COLE: The Tips acquired center Cole Fonstad on Sunday from the Prince Albert Raiders … the newest Silvertip will make his debut tonight and wear #42 … Fonstad last season captured a WHL title with the Prince Albert Raiders and was third on the Raiders with 73 points in 67 games.
2) HOWLING GOOD TIME: Tips goaltender Dustin Wolf on Saturday earned his 13^th career shutout, surpassing Michael Wall for third all-time in Silvertips history … he is fifth with a .940 save percentage and is tied for the WHL lead in shutouts (2) this season.
3) WILLING TO 100: Silvertips head coach Dennis Williams is 5 wins away from 100 in his WHL career … he was behind the bench this summer for Team Canada, earning a silver medal at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in Europe … Williams was named WHL Western Conference Coach of the Year in 2017-18.
