Last Time Out

After two scoreless periods with chances at both ends, the Tri-City Americans struck first midway through the third on a 4-on-4 goal from Charlie Elick. The Winterhawks responded quickly, as Alex Weiermair tied the game with a mid-slot one-timer for his 25th of the season. Max Pšenička then put Portland ahead with a blast from the blue line, scoring in his second straight game. Nathan Brown sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the final seconds, giving Portland its first road victory since November 21, 2025.

Brandon Breakdown

The Portland Winterhawks and Brandon Wheat Kings meet tonight for their lone matchup of the season, as the two clubs square off during their annual cross-conference swing through the WHL.

Brandon enters the night with a 25-18-1-0 record, sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference with 51 points. Last night, Everett hosted the Wheat Kings at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Washington, where the Silvertips handled business on home ice and defeated Brandon by a final score of 4-1. The Wheat Kings are looking to collect valuable points on their trip through the U.S. Division, with the Eastern Conference standings tightly packed.

Offensively, Brandon has been one of the league's most dangerous teams, ranking fifth in the WHL in goals scored. Jaxon Jacobson leads the way with 54 points (14G, 40A), while Joby Baumuller ranks second in the league in goals with 31 in 44 games.
