One race left

The full schedule of 11 games tonight settled all but one of the playoff races, leaving Sunday as a day of rest for all but one team tomorrow.

Settled tonight were:

Medicine Hat beat Calgary and thus clinched the #3 seed in the East ahead of Kootenay, who will be #4.

Brandon won and thus clinched the #6 seed in the East ahead of Edmonton, who will be #7.

Portland won and Spokane lost, meaning Portland is the U.S. division and Western Conference champion. They will be #1 seed in the first round. Spokane will be #3 seed. The big head to head meeting between the two teams tomorrow in Portland is now meaningless unless Portland cares about getting one more point to pass Red Deer for 2nd overall in the league.

Portland's victory was over Seattle, and the loss by the Thunderbirds means they are eliminated from the playoffs and Everett has clinched a spot.

Lastly, Prince George won, clinching the #7 seed in the West in the process.

The only thing left to be decided is #5/#6 in the West, which currently sees Chilliwack leading Vancouver by one point. Chilliwack is done their schedule though while Vancouver has a date tomorrow with Everett. One point by Vancouver in that game will give them #5. An Everett regulation win leaves #5 with the Bruins.

All four playoff matchups in the East are set now, along with two of the matchups in the West.

In the East:
#1 Saskatoon will play #8 Prince Albert
#2 Red Deer will play #7 Edmonton
#3 Medicine Hat will play #6 Brandon
#4 Kootenay will play #5 Moose Jaw

In the West:
#1 Portland will play #8 Everett
#2 Kelowna will play #7 Prince George
