Two major positives for the Portland Winterhawks Saturday night: Seth Jarvis finally getting some reward for effort, and the power play breaking out. Jarvis had a hat trick against the Seattle Thunderbirds in a season where his puck luck hasn’t always been there. Two of those goals were on the power play, boosting the numbers of a unit that surprisingly has been near the bottom of the league. The win put them three points ahead of Seattle for 2nd place in the WHL’s US Division, and another win in the Sunday rematch would put them in the driver’s seat for finishing 2nd.

Winterhawks win a scrappy game, 3-1: Nick Cicek scored 12 seconds into the 3rd for the winning goal, and Dante Giannuzzi stopped 28 shots as the Portland Winterhawks won a defensive struggle with the Seattle Thunderbirds 3-1 at Memorial Coliseum.
Winterhawks turn it around in the 3rd: It was a tough first two periods on offense for Portland, punctuated by a 3-shot period in the 2nd. But they got the quick goals from Cicek and Tallman in the 3rd and ended up with 10 shots, enough to keep Seattle from seriously threatening their lead the rest of the way.
