GAME SUMMARY:

Portland hit the ice for the second game of a three-game weekend stretch and showed early intent after traveling home from Spokane. Penticton opened the scoring just under 90 seconds into the contest off the stick of Matteo Danis, then struck twice more to build a three-goal cushion. Alex Weiermair worked the puck in the offensive zone and found Will McLaughlin winding up from the blue line to get Portland on the board heading into the second period.

Penticton responded by scoring five unanswered goals, three of which belonged to Danis, who finished the night with four goals and two assists. The Hawks ran out of gas down the stretch and fell to the Vees by a final score of 8-1.

UP NEXT:

The Portland Winterhawks aim to bounce back tomorrow when they return to the Glass Palace for the annual Teddy Bear Toss, with puck drop set for 4 p.m.
