Last Time Out
The Winterhawks controlled the game from the start, opening the scoring through Alex Weiermair before Jordan Duguay added back-to-back goals to make it 3-0 after one. Portland kept rolling in the second, with Nathan Free scoring early and Weiermair adding his second of the day for his first career four-point performance. Free struck again on a rebound, and Kyle McDonough made it 7-0 before Regina tacked on two late goals. Portland never looked back, cruising to a dominant 7-2 win on home ice.
Broncos Breakdown
The Winterhawks and Broncos meet for their lone matchup of the season, with Portland looking to even the recent head-to-head series after Swift Current claimed two of the last three meetings - one in regulation and one in overtime.
The Broncos enter the night at 8-15-1-0 and aim to bounce back after being shut out 6-0 in Everett on Friday. Portland can expect an energized group, as Swift Current has dropped the first two games of its U.S. Division road swing.
Forward Noah Kosick leads the Broncos with 25 points (7G, 18A), often setting up teammates with his strong playmaking ability.
Hawks Highlights
Winterhawks captain Ryan Miller enters tonight on an 18-game point streak, having hit the scoresheet in every contest since October 13. It stands as the longest point streak in the WHL this season, active or otherwise. A fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2025 NHL Draft, Miller has produced 23 points during the streak and now leads Portland with 30 points on the year, including seven goals and a team-high 23 assists.
Portland defenceman Cole Slobodian notched the first three-point game of his WHL career on Friday, recording three assists in the Hawks' 7-2 win over Regina. The Brandon, Manitoba product has already doubled his point total from last season, sitting at eight points (1G, 7A).
Power forward Alex Weiermair delivered his first four-point outing since joining Portland just under a year ago. The 20-year-old leads the team with 30 points and a team-high 14 goals, has nine multi-point games this season, and was named an alternate captain in October. Weiermair was selected in the sixth round of the NHL Draft by the Vegas Golden Knights and attended their rookie camp late this summer before returning to Portland after opening weekend.
Darby Duel
Tonight brings another family showdown in the Dub, as Winterhawks defenceman Griffin Darby faces off against his brother, Hudson, and their father, Regan, in the teams' only meeting of the season. Hudson was traded from Portland to Swift Current at the start of the year, and Regan stepped in as Interim Head Coach on November 14. Griffin, 17, has appeared in 67 games for the Winterhawks after being drafted 17th overall in the 2023 WHL draft by Portland.
This marks the second time this year the Hawks have seen a three-member family matchup, following the Domenichelli meeting in Vancouver on October 24.
