WENATCHEE, Wash. (Interstat) — The Everett Silvertips will visit the Wenatchee Wild on Saturday for a Western Hockey League minor league hockey game at Town Toyota Center in Wenatchee, Wash.

Everett enters the matchup with a 1-1 record, while Wenatchee is 0-2. The Silvertips won the most recent meeting between the teams, 3-2. Brek Liske is a player to watch for Everett after recording one goal and 11 shots on goal in that game. Henry Meier also scored and had five shots on goal, and Luke Vlooswyk added one goal and three shots on goal. Liske is a defenseman, Meier is a right wing, and Vlooswyk is a defenseman. The Silvertips’ other result this season was a 3-2 overtime loss to Portland.

Wenatchee will look to Nolan Caffey for offense. Caffey recorded 70 shots on goal in the most recent meeting against Everett and had four shots on goal in an earlier game against Seattle. Grady Wedman contributed one goal and one assist with three shots on goal in the most recent meeting, and Riley Brown added one assist and five shots on goal. Caffey is a right wing, Wedman is a left wing, and Brown is a right wing. The Wild’s other result this season was a 1-0 overtime loss to Seattle.

The Wild has opened the season with two narrow defeats, including an overtime decision, and will seek its first win on home ice. Everett has split its first two games and will aim to build on its recent victory over Wenatchee. The Silvertips have received scoring from multiple skaters in the early going, while the Wild is still searching for consistent offense. The teams met earlier this season at Everett, and the Wild will be the home team for the first time in the season series.

Town Toyota Center will host the Western Hockey League contest. Everett is scheduled to face Wenatchee again and then Spokane in upcoming home games. Wenatchee is set to visit Seattle and then travel to Everett in its next scheduled games. The teams will continue their Western Hockey League regular-season schedules after Saturday.

Everett’s Liske has been among the team’s most productive players, and the Silvertips will need him to help generate chances against Wenatchee. Caffey’s high shot volume makes him a key figure for the Wild, and Wedman and Brown provide additional options. The matchup offers Wenatchee a chance to earn its first win of the season and Everett an opportunity to move above .500.
