GAME SUMMARY:
It was all Winterhawks this afternoon in Portland. Nathan Brown sprung Alex Weiermair through the middle, then crashed the net as Weiermair snapped a shot past Marek Schlenker to open the scoring. Portland doubled its lead when a misfired pass eluded Weiermair, but he spun and delivered a no-look backhand to Jordan Duguay, who faked a wind-up before tucking home his third power-play goal of the season. Duguay struck again just over three minutes later, walking in uncontested from the right circle and beating Schlenker for a 3-0 lead after one.
The Hawks kept pressing, and just 61 seconds into the second, Nathan Free buried his first of the day on a shot Schlenker never saw to make it 4-0. Weiermair added his second when Duguay worked the puck low and fed him in the slot for a backhand finish, marking Weiermair’s first four-point game in the WHL. Portland pushed the lead to 6-0 as Cole Slobodian’s point shot produced a rebound that Free collected and roofed for his second of the game.
The Hawks capped their offensive outburst when Kyle McDonough stuffed in a rebound from Reed Brown for a 7-0 lead. Regina added two late goals, but the outcome was never in doubt as Portland skated away with a commanding 7-2 victory on home ice.
