Last Time Out
The Portland Winterhawks nearly completed a comeback but fell just short, losing 4-3 in overtime to the Tri-City Americans. Despite Tri-City building a 3-0 lead with two first-period goals and an early tally in the second, the Hawks stormed back in the third. Ryan Miller sparked the rally at 1:46 with a close-range tip-in, followed by captain Kyle Chyzowski’s power-play goal at 4:12 off a setup from Tyson Jugnauth. Miller struck again midway through the period, batting the puck into a wide-open net on the power play to level the score at 3-3. The game remained tied through regulation, but the Americans clinched the win 33 seconds into overtime, giving Portland a point.

Evaluating Edmonton
The Portland Winterhawks (6-4-2) are set for a crucial matchup against the Edmonton Oil Kings (4-5-0-1) at home, aiming to bounce back from a recent slide. Edmonton, ranked 9th in the Eastern Conference, brings a mix of offensive talent led by Gavin Hodnett who has notched 13 points (4G, 9A) in 10 games. Behind him, Gracyn Sawchyn and Adam Jecho add depth and scoring ability, with Sawchyn posting 10 points (4G, 6A) in seven games and Jecho contributing 8 points (3G, 5A) in egight games. The Oil Kings have also proven to be a threat on the power play, with Hodnett and Sawchyn combining for six power-play points this season.
On defense, the Oil Kings face some challenges, entering tonight’s matchup with a -4 goal differential and looking to tighten up in their own zone. Goaltender Alex Worthington has carried much of the load, aiming to improve his stats and give Edmonton a chance to hang in against Portland’s high-pressure offense. Portland’s power-play unit, one of the best in the Western Conference at 28.6%, will play a critical role. Edmonton’s penalty kill is solid (81.4%), but the Winterhawks can exploit any lapses by applying pressure. Another key will be faceoff success, with Edmonton’s Sawchyn boasting a 53.3% win rate in the circle.
