Game Day Hub: Round 3, Game 3 vs Spokane Chiefs

April 30, 2025 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Portland Winterhawks News Release


The Winterhawks return home to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum tonight trailing the Spokane Chiefs 2-0 in the best-of-seven Western Conference Championship, presented by Nutrien. Ahead of Game 3, Portland is in the same spot as it was against the Everett Silvertips in Round 2. The Winterhawks players get the added lift of playing in front of their fans, sleeping in their own beds, and getting the last change. Diego Buttazzoni's three goals and three assists leads all skaters with six points in the series through the first two games.

It is easier said than done, but Portland will need to slow down the dynamic duo of Berkly Catton and Andrew Cristall, who have a combined five goals and five assists. Assanali Sarkenov has also been a thorn in the Winterhawks side through the first two games with four goals and one assist.
