Jesse Heslop scored the winner at 1:34 in overtime to lift the Everett Silvertips over the Portland Winterhawks 3-2 in Game 1 of their second-round series Friday in the Western Hockey League playoffs.

The playoffs are just around the corner and there are two things getting longer for the Oilers: their injury list, and the odds of them patching together a lineup that can win a post-season round.

Mikael Backlund's first-period goal gave Calgary the lead and the Flames never looked back, picking up two huge points with a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
