Last Time Out

Seattle got off to a quick start, as Matthew Gard scored the first goal of the game just 49 seconds into the opening period. The Winterhawks battled back with opportunities, but with just over six minutes remaining, Alex Weiermair tamed a bouncing puck and buried an unassisted goal. The Thunderbirds would add one more goal before the period ended to take a 2-1 lead into the second.

After a scoreless middle frame, the Winterhawks pounced on a power play opportunity to level the game at two. Ryan Miller notched the goal while Jordan Duguay and Weiermair added assists. That goal sent the game to overtime, where Seattle would win 1:23 in.

Eyeing Everett

The Winterhawks and Silvertips meet for the sixth and final time this afternoon, with Portland looking to secure the season series with a victory. The last meeting saw Everett skate away with a 4-2 win in Portland despite a strong, well-rounded effort from the Hawks.

Everett enters the matchup with a 54-7-2-1 record and holds the top spot in the Western Conference in the Western Hockey League, having already clinched both the No. 1 playoff seed and the U.S. Division title.

The Silvertips continue to be powered by a dynamic top line of Carter Bear, Julius Miettinen, and Matias Vanhanen, who have combined for 226 points entering play on Saturday. In net, Anders Miller leads the league with a 2.21 goals-against average while ranking second in save percentage (.916) and wins (28).
