GAME SUMMARY:
Portland had a goal disallowed early in the first period due to an offside play and Medicine Hat proceeded to add three goals in the first frame to give them a 3-0 lead.
The Winterhawks got on the board late in the second period when Josh Zakreski picked up a Carsyn Dyck feed off the face-off and buried it top shelf to make it a 4-1 game after 40 minutes of play.
The Tigers netted their fifth of the game at 7:10 of the third period, followed by two more tallies coming soon after to stretch the lead to 7-1. Zakreski netted his second of the night with a slick move, cutting in from the left circle and lifting the puck over the glove-side shoulder of the Tigers’ netminder Harrison Meneghin. His tally was the final of game, as the Hawks fell to the Tigers by a 7-2 score.
