The Portland Winterhawks ran their winning streak to five games with a 3-2 road victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Tuesday.
Portland (8-3-0-1) opened the scoring 6:26 into the game on a goal by Keegan Iverson, followed by a power play marker from Brendan Leipsic at the 11:37 mark. Chase De Leo added one at the 16:14 mark as the Hawks took a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes.
The lone goal of the second period came when Lethbridge’s Brady Ramsay scored a power goal late in the frame to cut Portland’s lead to 3-1 going into the third.
The Hurricanes (2-11-0-1) got within one when Axel Blomqvist scored at the 14:35 mark of the third cut the Hawks’ lead to 3-2, but that was as close as they’d get as Portland slammed the door to come away with the win.
