Last time out

The Winterhawks dropped a tough Game 6 on Sunday night. They thought they had the game tied at two when Ryder Thompson's point shot beat Joshua Ravensbergen. However, after the officials huddled at center ice, they determined the goal was scored illegally. Prince George added two more markers, one into the empty net, to force the series to go the distance.

With the Hawks trailing by one and shorthanded, Max Pšenička got the puck to Alex Weiermair, who rushed up the ice with captain Kyle Chyzowski. Shortly after entering the offensive zone, Weiermair made a deft pass for Chyzowski to skate onto. The Surrey, British Columbia, native slid it five hole on Ravensbergen to tie the game. Portland led the league in shorthanded goals during the regular season, and converted down a skater for the first time in the series.

Tyson Jugnauth stands alone

Tyson Jugnauth's 13 points (2G, 11A) through six games in the series against Prince George is the most points by a defenseman in any playoff series in franchise history. Per team historian Andy Kemper, the previous record belonged to Jeff Finley, who scored 12 points (1G, 11A) in 1986-1987 vs. Kamloops in eight games (best-of-nine series).
