The Henderson Silver Knights beat the Colorado Eagles 4-3 in double overtime to draw the Pacific Division Semifinals level in the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Henderson had only put up one shot in the first 6:24 minutes. They still managed to score at the 7:12 mark after the Silver Knights' Jonas Rondbjerg took the puck away from the Eagles' Taylor Makar in Colorado's right faceoff zone, leaving a loose puck which forward Braeden Bowman shot with a one-timer past Eagles goalie Trent Miner for the 1-0 lead. Henderson put up the last four of their eight shots in the final 6:43 of the frame. The first of these was put up by Ben Hemmerling which Miner denied but was taken out by Hemmerling. That left an open net which Tanner Laczynski easily scored on the rebound. However, that goal was taken off the board due to the early goalie interference penalty by Hemmerling on Miner, leaving the score 1-0 at the first break.
At the 4:07 mark of the second period, thanks to a Henderson giveaway in the Silver Knights zone, Eagles forward TJ Hughes took advantage and put in the equalizer. For a period of 8:26 in the middle of the frame, Colorado held Henderson shotless while registering five shots of their own. The second of these resulted in a go-ahead goal by forward Alex Barre-Boulet to put give the Eagles the 2-1 lead. Still, despite getting outshot 11-8 by Colorado in the period, Henderson had three of the five last shots in the period including the equalizer by defenseman .

The Silver Knights started the third period hot, putting up the first nine shots of the period in the opening 5:19 minutes of the frame.
