The Portland Winterhawks needed a win to keep pace with the other three teams in the Memorial Cup tournament, and were successful last night against the London Knights. The 6-3 win means that every team has won one and lost one, which means the two losers of the next games will square off on Thursday in a tiebreaker game, with the winner of that game meeting the second place team. The first place team won't have to play until Sunday, when the finals take place.
Taylor Leier, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Ty Rattie helped propel the Winterhawks to a 3-0 lead, but the Knights would tie it up on goals by Scott Harrington, Bo Horvat, and Alex Broadhurst. The Winterhawks took the lead for good on goals by Derrick Pouliot and Chase De Leo. Rattie would add an empty net goal, giving him three points for the game.
The Knights play tonight against Halifax while the Winterhawks play tomorrow against Saskatoon.
