Jonathan Harty earned his first marker of the year at 14:25 of the second period on an Everett power play. Derek Yeomans had stopped the initial shot but Harty waited right outside the crease to poke it in behind him. Kyle Beach answered with a power play goal of his own late in the period to push the Silvertips up 2-0. Everett’s final goal came from Beach again early in the third after he snagged a dead puck at the Silvertips’ blue line. Beach raced down the right wing side and one-timed it from the top of the right face-off circle to finalize the score at 3-0.

Jonathan Harty, along with a goal, tallied two assists while Beach posted a helper of his own. Also contributed in the assists during tonight’s game were Peter Mueller and Graham Potuer with one a piece.

Derek Yeomans, making 23 saves on 26 shots, drops his goaltending history to 1-2-0-1.
