Last Time Out
Portland hit the ice for the second game of a three-game weekend stretch and showed early intent after traveling home from Spokane. Penticton opened the scoring just under 90 seconds into the contest off the stick of Matteo Danis, then struck twice more to build a three-goal cushion. Alex Weiermair worked the puck in the offensive zone and found Will McLaughlin winding up from the blue line to get Portland on the board heading into the second period.
Penticton responded by scoring five unanswered goals, three of which belonged to Danis, who finished the night with four goals and two assists. The Hawks ran out of gas down the stretch and fell to the Vees by a final score of 8-1.
Penticton Preview
The Winterhawks and Vees meet for the third time this season and the second of the weekend, after Portland dropped a 8-1 decision in the Vees first-ever visit to the Glass Palace last night.
Penticton enters tonight with a 15-8-4-3 record, and sit third in the Western Conference with 37 points, three ahead of the Winterhawks, who are fourth with 34. With back-to-back games on tap, the weekend carries significant implications in the standings.
Penticton also brings a strong goaltending rotation, led by Andrew Reyelts, who has posted 13 wins along with a league-third 2.42 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Ethan McCallum rounds out the tandem with a 3.17 GAA and a .893 save percentage.
Les Schwab Teddy Bear Toss
The annual Les Schwab Teddy Bear Toss returns to the Glass Palace as fans are encouraged to bring new teddy bears and plush toys to toss onto the ice following the Winterhawks' first goal.
