EVERETT, Wash. - Connor Dewar and Kevin Davis each bagged two goals while Dustin Wolf earned his third shutout of his rookie season on 29 saves to help the Everett Silvertips cruise past the Tri-City Americans in a 4-0 victory before 2,997 fans in downtown Everett in WHL action on Wednesday.

Kevin Davis bolstered the lead to 2-0 on the first shorthanded goal of his career at 10:41 of the second period, a breakaway opportunity where he beat Patrick Dea to the blocker side.

Davis' second goal hiked the lead to 3-0 on four-on-four play at 4:35 of the third period when he converted a Matt Fonteyne and Patrick Bajkov exchange, wide open at the Tri-City net. Dewar's second snipe put the Tips ahead, 4-0 at 8:35, burying his 18th goal between the circles.

Dea stopped 47 shots before giving way to Beck Warm (six saves) for the final 9:55 of regulation.
