Friday, the Winterhawks made it to Kennewick, WA in one piece as they took on the Tri-City Americans. An early Oliver Bjorkstrand goal made it 1-0 for most of the first period. However, goals from Nic Petan, Alex Schoenborn, and Taylor Leier in the closing minutes of the first period would make it 4-0 after one period and would end Eric Comrie's night in goal for the Americans. Evan Sarthou didn't have much better luck, as he would give up goals to Petan and Schoenborn in the second period. Keegan Iverson would put the Winterhawks up seven with an early third period goal. Tri-City tried to make it a game with goals from Jessey Astles, Michal Plutnar, and Parker Wotherspoon. However, a 36 second time span saw Derrick Pouliot, Paul Bittner, and Ethan Price score as the Winterhawks pounded the Americans 10-3. Brendan Burke played well in the win.
Saturday, the Winterhawks returned home, and undoubtedly due to the weather, the crowd wasn't quite as much as it would normally be on a weekend game. Everett would strike first with Ben Betker getting the Silvertips on the board. However, Layne Viveiros would send the game to a 1-1 tie going into the second period. Taylor Leier and Brayden Low would exchange goals as the teams would be even at two after two periods. Kohl Bauml would put Everett up 3-2 early in the third period, but a span of 2:30 would see Leier, Schoenborn, and Petan all score as the Winterhawks withstood an Everett team that was looking for some redemption after getting embarrassed by the Winterhawks in their last three meetings. Corbin Boes got the win in a 5-2 win for the Winterhawks.
The Winterhawks will make a road trip through British Columbia as they travel to Prince George for games on Monday and Wednesday, Kamloops on Friday, and Vancouver on Saturday.
