Game Notes: Winterhawks Game Notes
One final roadie.
Let's wrap it up!
Through 11 games this year the Winterhawks are 4-6-1 away from the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Ending the season with points in half of the team's road games this year wouldn't be so bad.
Three in a row?
Would be nice!
Granted you can argue that these past two games are an example of what Portland should be doing to Tri-City and Spokane at this juncture in the season, it's certainly nice to earn ways that the team has both Wednesday and last night. With that being said, when you get to these "playoff series"-type battles, it's hard to beat teams so many times in a row. So the A-game will have to be brought again tonight.
X-Factor for success?
Keep on scorin'.
12 goals in consecutive games will go down as the second most in a two-game stretch this season. Last night Mike Johnston was very complimentary of his team's efforts to go to the tough areas, resulting in the success.
