A power play goal five minutes later and two even strength tallies saw the Silvertips head to the intermission with the 4-1 lead.
Everett extended their lead early in the second period, making it 5-1 just 2:47 in. The Winterhawks pushed back as Josh Zakreski sparked some life, jamming the puck in from the right post with 23 seconds left in the frame.
Diego Buttazzoni kept the Winterhawks fighting with a determined effort at 16:15 of the third period, shoving the puck in from the right post to bring Portland within two. However, the Silvertips quickly answered with a power-play goal and sealed the game with an empty-netter, securing a 7-3 final.
