Former 麻豆精选 Rocket sends Spokane Chiefs to WHL's Western Conference final

When the 麻豆精选 Rockets traded Andrew Cristall in January, it was to give him a better chance to win a WHL Championship and the Memorial Cup. 

And he's taken every advantage of it with the Spokane Chiefs.

On Tuesday night (April 22), Cristall scored the game-winning goal in double overtime on the powerplay to send the Chiefs to the WHL's Western Conference final and eliminate the Victoria Royals.

The goal was his league-leading 13th of the postseason. He's also tied with teammate Berkly Catton for the league-lead with 28 points in 11 games. 

Cristall and the Chiefs will take on the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Conference final, which begins on Friday, April 25. 

The Washington Capitals prospect is second all-time in 麻豆精选 Rockets scoring with 340 points in 219 games.
