The Portland Winterhawks scored four goals in the first period and went on to cruise to a 6-2 win over the Kamloops Blazers on Friday night.

Miles Koules added a goal as he stood at the side of the net and deflected home a pass from Josh Hanson to make it 2-0 midway through the first period.

The 'Hawks added two power play goals as Chase De Leo and Oliver Bjorkstrand both got on the scoreboard to give the Winterhawks a 4-0 lead.

De Leo added another goal 5:05 into the second period as the Winterhawks led 5-0.

Luke Harrison got the Blazers on the scoreboard in the 13:17 into the second period. Jake Kryski did a terrific job protecting a puck and centered a pass to Harrison to make it 5-1.

The 'Hawks added another goal in the period as they led 6-1 through two periods.

Collin Shirley added a 5-on-3 power play marker in the third period as the Blazers outshot the 'Hawks 14-5 in the final period but fell 6-2.

The Blazers outshot the Winterhawks 31-30 on the night. Cole Kehler played well despite letting in six goals on 30 shots.

The Blazers now head to Vancouver to face the Giants on Saturday night.
