Seattle struck first 1:01 into the game when Nolan Volcan scored for an early 1-0 lead, but the Hawks responded at 8:33 on a power play when a great passing sequence ended with Dominic Turgeon firing it past Landon Bow to even the game at 1-1, which remained the score heading into the second.

Seattle got the lead back with a late goal from Donovan Neuls to make it 3-2 going into the third. The Hawks kept up the pressure throughout the third period, but the Thunderbirds skated away with the 3-2 win.

Adin Hill made 44 saves on 47 shots he faced from Seattle.

The Hawks will be back in action tomorrow when they take on the Everett Silvertips at the Coliseum at 5 p.m.
