Last Time Out
The Portland Winterhawks fell to the Spokane Chiefs, 4-2, at Spokane Arena on Friday night despite a 2-1 lead entering the third period. Josh Zakreski tallied his first career shorthanded goal and Hudson Darby scored to give Portland the advantage through 40 minutes, but the Chiefs rallied with three goals in the final frame, including an empty netter. Ondřej Štěbeták was stellar in net, stopping 47 of 50 shots faced.
2024-25 Season Series
The rivals opened their season series with a back-and-forth affair that saw Seattle overcome a three-goal Portland lead. The Hawks went 3-for-6 on the power play with Tyson Yaremko scoring twice, but two third-period goals from the Thunderbirds sealed the victory for the home team. Saturday marks the second of 12 meetings between the U.S. Division foes this season.
