Wolf early, Regnier late, Silvertips beat Winterhawks 6-2: A 37-save effort by Dustin Wolf and a hat trick by Ethan Regnier led the Everett Silvertips to a 6-2 win over the Portland Winterhawks Sunday night at Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington. It’s the eighth straight win for Everett over the Winterhawks, in a stretch when the two teams have usually run 1-2 in the Western Hockey League’s US Division.
Wolf saves Everett in the 1st: The key stretch for Portland was the 1st period, where they outshot the Silvertips 18-7 but were held off the scoreboard by Wolf, and the game was scoreless after 1 period. He was especially effective against Portland’s forward duo of Seth Jarvis and Jaydon Dureau, who played one of their best periods of the season but were shut out. Wolf held the fort long enough for his teammates to get into the game the last two periods.
