The Portland Winterhawks return home on October 20, and will do so with a lot of momentum from a 4-1-1 road trip. The last third of the trip saw the Winterhawks beat Prince Albert 5-2 on Friday and Swift Current on Saturday by a 6-3 score. Mac Carruth got the win on Friday as the Winterhawks saw five different players score and Brendan Burke got the win as Ty Rattie found his offensive game on Saturday, accounting for four goals. Clearly, Carruth has energized this team since his return on Wednesday, and now the Winterhawks have a good problem in goal, as Carruth is a proven commodity, Burke is the hot shot looking to the 2013 NHL Draft, and Cam Lanigan has posted a solid GAA in his games played. The one hope here is that Rattie has finally discovered his game from last year, where he led the team in scoring in the regular season and was second on the team in scoring in the playoffs.
