LAST TIME OUT:
EVT 4 – POR 2 (1-31-20): Back home in front of 6,678 at AOTW Arena, the Everett Silvertips were ready to put on a show.

In the first meeting since December 13th, Everett overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat Portland 4-3 for the first time this season and secured a substantial two points over the #2 ranked team in the CHL. Bryce Kindopp led the Tips with first star honors and a two goal effort while goaltender Dustin Wolf turned in a 32 save effort for the victory. Brendan Lee and Jackson Berezowski also notched Tips goals late in the second period and third period, respectively.
