Portland Winterhawks News Release


Portland opened the weekend on a high note, shutting out the Kelowna Rockets 3-0 on Saturday night. Shane Farkas stopped all 26 shots en route to his first shutout performance of the season.

Returning home for a pair of weekend games against the Rockets, the Hawks jumped out to an early lead. Just over three minutes into the game, Joachim Blichfeld received a headman pass on the right wing and charged into the offensive zone. He drove in a wrist shot at the top of the right circle for his team-leading 15th of the season. The Hawks rattled off 22 shots in the first period and took a 1-0 lead into the locker room for the first break.

Portland was able to increase its lead in the second period. Thirteen seconds after a Portland power play expired, Cody Glass banked in the team's second goal of the night to find a favorable home lead at the midway point of regulation time. Shane Farkas closed the second period on a high note, making a couple of flashy pad stops in the final two minutes of the frame to keep it a 2-0 game heading into the second break of the night.

The Hawks had one more in them before the night ended. Reece Newkirk tapped in his 11th of the season on a slot feed from Blichfeld. Blichfeld finished the night with points on all three Winterhawks' goals. Shane Farkas 26-save effort earned him the honor as the first star of the game.
