Everett Silvertips News Release

EVERETT, Wash. - Carter Hart earned the 25th shutout of his career to move within one of the Western Hockey League record, while Matt Fonteyne, Patrick Bajkov and Sean Richards combined for seven points in a 4-0 victory for the Everett Silvertips over the Brandon Wheat Kings, before 5,917 fans in downtown Everett on Saturday night in WHL action.

Hart's shutout moved him one behind Tyson Sexsmith (Vancouver), while Patrick Bajkov's three point effort moved him to four behind Zach Hamill's all-time record. Bajkov's second period goal was the 102nd in his career, moving into sole possession of second place on the Tips all-time goal scoring list (five behind all-time leader Tyler Maxwell).

Fonteyne started his two goal effort with a highlight reel move on the rush and finish from behind the net off a Brandon defender in the crease, 16:16 into the first period for a 1-0 Tips lead.

Hart preserved the lead into the second period where he made arguably his best save of the night, sprawling for a left pad save on Ty Lewis' one-timer at the right circle. Bajkov followed up with his 23rd goal of the season, 12:35 into the second period when he stashed a rebound for a 2-0 edge.

Connor Dewar slammed in a rebound from the top of the crease at 7:54 of the third period for a 3-0 lead and Fonteyne followed by stashing his 27th goal at the left post with 6:19 to play for a 4-0 bulge.

Logan Thompson took the loss on 41 stops.
