In the last game before holiday break, the Portland Winterhawks hosted the Everett Silvertips with the opportunity to expand their lead in the U.S. Division. However, without some of their best players due to international tournaments or suspension, it was just not to be. Josh Winquist and Jujhar Khaira would put Everett up 2-0 after one period. Chase De Leo kept the Winterhawks in it with a goal in the second period to cut the deficit to one heading into the final frame. Carson Stadnyk would restore the two goal lead for Everett before Paul Bittner cut the deficit to one again. An empty net goal by Winquist would be all the scoring as Everett would go on to win 4-2 and leave the Winterhawks with only a two point lead in the standings.
The Winterhawks will play again on December 27 at Tri-City and will complete a home and home with the Americans the following evening.
