Last Time Out

Spokane opened the scoring just over a minute in and added two more before the second media timeout to grab a three-goal lead. Reed Brown answered at 13:47, stripping a mishandled puck and beating two defenders before roofing his shot for his third goal in two games against the Chiefs, but Spokane responded late to take a 4-1 lead into the first intermission.

The Chiefs kept pressing in the second, with Mathis Preston scoring twice as Spokane added two more to build an 8-1 advantage after two.

Portland struck on the power play in the third when Tyson Yaremko cleaned up a net-front scramble off a Sam Spehar shot for his second of the season, but Chase Harrington closed out the scoring as the Hawks fell 9-2 in Spokane.

Americans Approach

The Winterhawks and Americans meet for the first time this season, as Portland looks to continue the winning trend it has built against Tri-City over the past several years. During the 2024-25 campaign, the Hawks posted a 3-1-1-1 record against the Americans.

Tri-City enters tonight riding a three-game winning streak heading into the holiday break, most recently edging Kamloops 4-3 on the road. The Americans sit eighth in the Western Conference with 34 points, locked in a tight race for playoff positioning as the second half of the season begins.

Savin Virk leads Tri-City with 31 points (13G, 18A), while Xavier Wendt anchors the crease with 11 wins in 19 starts and a 2.47 goals-against average, the fifth-best mark in the WHL.
