The Portland Winterhawks defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds 10-4 Saturday night in a Western Hockey League game at the Moda Center in Portland.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The loss was the T-Birds’ first of the season after winning the opening three games of the campaign.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Portland (2-1-0-1) got four goals from Oliver Bjorkstrand and two goals each from Nic Petan and Adam De Champlain. Taylor Leier and Keegan Iverson also scored for the Winterhawks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seattle (3-1-0-0) scored all their goals in the third period. Alexander Delnov scored at 10:37 on the power play. Shea Theodore scored an unassisted goal at 12:18 and Mathew Barzal potted his first career WHL goal at 15:50. Theodore scored the final T-Birds goal at 18:39 of the third.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Theodore’s first goal was not initially called a goal as his wrist shot went past Portland goalie Brendan Burke and through the net. Play continued for at least four more minutes before a whistle stopped play. The play was reviewed and it was determined that Theodore has scored his first goal of the year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Both teams had 38 shots on goal in the game.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seattle goalie Danny Mumaugh made 19 saves on 25 shots and his record is now 1-1-0-0. Justin Myles replaced Mumaugh after Portland’s sixth goal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
