GAME SUMMARY:
Portland opened the scoring on Halloween night at the Glass Palace when Nathan Free ripped a one-timer on the power play, beating the glove of San Jose Sharks draftee Joshua Ravensbergen at the 7:53 mark. The Hawks doubled their lead nearly ten minutes later as Jordan Duguay worked the puck down low and found Carter Sotheran cutting in from the right circle to bury another power play goal. Portland extended its cushion with 15 seconds remaining in the period when Kyle McDonough fed Finn Spehar in front, whose steady stick tapped the puck home for a three-goal advantage heading into the first intermission.
The Hawks added to their lead early in the middle frame, as Finn Spehar’s hustle paid off when he won the puck and found Jake Gustafson alone in front for the finish. Prince George responded with a pair of goals to cut the deficit to 4-2 heading into the second intermission.
Portland answered in the final 20 minutes, as McDonough found Reed Brown alone at the backdoor, where he buried his fifth goal in as many games. The Hawks capped off the scoring when Alex Weiermair cleaned up a rebound from Duguay’s shot, sending Ravensbergen to the bench and sealing a 6-2 Halloween victory for Portland.
