The Seattle Thunderbirds have climbed into the preseason win column.<\/p>\n
Goalie Jacob DeSerrres made 41 saves on 44 shots \u2013 including 18 in each of the second and third periods \u2013 and four different players scored goals as the Thunderbirds hung on for a 4-3 victory against the Portland Winter Hawks Aug. 31 in their final game at the Everett Silvertips Preseason Tournament.<\/p>\n
Seattle finished with a 1-2 record in the tournament after falling 4-2 to the Chilliwack Bruins on Friday and 7-4 to the host Silvertips on Saturday at Comcast Events Center.<\/p>\n
Spencer Edwards, David Richard and Brenden Dillon gave the T-birds a 3-0 lead. Portland cut it to 3-1 early in the second period, but Lindsay Nielsen restored Seattle\u2019s three-goal lead less than two minutes later with a power-play goal.<\/p>\n
The T-birds have four preseason games remaining. They face the host Tri-City Americans on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Red Lion Hotels Preseason Tournament in Kennewick, then face Portland on Saturday in their second tournament game. After a game in Portland on Sept. 12, those two teams come to the Kent Valley Ice Centre the following night for the preseason finale at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
