The Portland Winterhawks opened an eight-game road trip with a 6-1 Western Hockey League win over the Seattle Thunderbirds on Saturday at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

Skyler McKenzie opened the scoring on a power play 8:19 into the game. The Hawks extended the lead at 15:03 on a power-play goal by Colton Veloso.

Keegan Iverson had two goals and an assist for Portland, and Keoni Texeira had four assists. Ryan Hughes and Cody Glass each had two assists.
