Game Day Hub: Round 3, Game 2 at Spokane Chiefs

April 27, 2025 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Portland Winterhawks News Release


The best-of-seven Western Conference Championship series, presented by Nutrien, resumes in Spokane, Washington, for Game 2 this evening. The Chiefs controlled Game 1 and scored less than a minute into the contest. The Winterhawks will need a much better start tonight and clean up mistakes in the defensive zone if they hope to leave with a road split. Portland has been in this position before in the 2025 WHL playoffs, though, as it dropped the opening game in Rounds 1 and 2 to Prince George and Everett.

Diego Buttaazoni, Tyson Jugnauth, and Josh Zakreski scored in Game 1 on Friday.

Puck Drop: 5:05 P.M.

Venue: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, Spokane, Washington

Uniforms: White

Listen Live: Winterhawks Radio Network and on the Winterhawks App
