The Portland Winterhawks (33-15-0-3) had their six-game winning streak snapped in Friday a 5-2 loss on the road to the Tri-City Americans (30-13-2-1), who got a hat trick from captain Kruise Reddick.

Reddick scored twice in the first period, including one on a power play, to give Tri-Cities a 2-0 lead going into the second period.

Adam Hughesman made it 3-0 for Tri-Cities with a goal on a breakaway at the 11:22 mark, followed by Reddick's hat trick goal late in the period to make it 4-0. It was also Reddick's second power play goal of the game.

Portland got on the board 5:12 into the third when Brad Ross scored a power play goal to make it 4-1. But the Americans regained the four-goal lead when Connor Rankin scored at the 9:14 mark to make it 5-1. Nino Niederreiter gave Portland their second power play goal of the night when he scored with the man advantage at the 13:14 mark to make it 5-2, which would stand as the final.

Mac Carruth made 32 saves on Tri-Cities' 37 shots, while his counterpart Drew Owsley stopped 32 of Portland's 34 shots for the Americans.

Both teams had two power play goals, Portland on eight attempts and the Americans on seven attempts.

The Winterhawks are back in action tomorrow night in Seattle when they take on the Thunderbirds at 7 p.m. in a game that can be heard on Newsradio 750 KXL.
