FOLLOW ALONG: Box Score

The Winterhawks open February sitting seven points ahead of the Everett Silvertips for first place in the U.S. Division. Tonight will be the seventh of 12 head-to-head meetings with Seattle. Portland is 4-0-0-2 against the Thunderbirds this year.

In the previous six meetings, five of them were determined by one goal and half of the games went to a shootout. The Winterhawks erased a 2-0 deficit last weekend only to surge back and beat Seattle 6-5 in a shootout in Kent, WA.

Tonight, Portland has its first official chance to clinch playoff berth. The Hawks magic number is set at four, meaning they will clinch a spot in the 2020 WHL Playoffs if they beat Seattle and if Tri-City beats Prince George in regulation. Seattle had a Friday night off, but they are coming off a 4-2 midweek win over the Americans at home.

Seth Jarvis wrapped up January with points in all ten games and he led all WHL skated with 29 points this last month, four more than the next closest player. His 11 goals, 18 assists and +17 rating were all the second highest during the month. Last time against Seattle, he put up four points in his line connected for seven.

Tonight, Robbie Fromm-Delorme will skate in his 100th career WHL game. The next win for Joel Hofer will also be the 50th of his WHL career.
