Wolf stops 37, Silvertips beat Winterhawks 3-2: Dustin Wolf stopped 37 of 39 shots, and Gage Goncalves’s shorthanded goal 39 seconds into the 3rd period gave the Everett Silvertips a lead they never relinquished, as they beat the Portland Winterhawks 3-2 at Memorial Coliseum Tuesday night. It’s Everett’s ninth straight win over Portland going back to last season, and their fifth this season.
Why Everett won: An unspectacular but steady game from Wolf, the WHL’s best goalie. He has now stopped 169 of 179 shots in five games against Portland this season, all wins.
