Winterhawks Weekly: A Rocky Road

The Winterhawks' week began with an easy 8-3 win at Vancouver on Monday.  Led by a four goal effort by Ty Rattie, the Winterhawks did what they were supposed to do to the worst team in the WHL.  Friday night, the Winterhawks came out flat and Tri-City were undoubtedly looking to avenge a shutout loss last meeting, and the result was a 6-2 loss at home for the Winterhawks.  The Saturday game against Vancouver saw the Winterhawks play flat for most of the game, likely a carryover from the Tri-City game and due to an early start time, but in the end, the Winterhawks came back and Brendan Leipsic capped off a furious rally to seal a 4-3 win in overtime.

This Monday is a Daylight game, as the Winterhawks will open the curtains of Memorial Coliseum for an afternoon tilt with Spokane.  They hit the road on Wednesday to Kamloops and for a double dip on Friday and Saturday at Prince George, who is looking to make their case for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
