Terriers take both ends of back-to-back against Northern Manitoba
Another good effort saw the Portage Terriers claim both ends of the back-to-back in The Pas, the latter win by a score of 7-2. Will McKay and Trevor Hill each added another goal to their strong series, and the team got goals from Justin Deschenes, Drayden Uhrina, Breck Hirrschoff, Ryker Thomas, and Victor Proulx. The second game saw less than half the penalty minutes, with Portage going 6/6 on the penalty kill, but 0/3 on the powerplay. Donavan Bodnar stopped 32 of the 34 shots he faced, and earned his first win of the season. Deschenes was named the Popeyes player of the game for his efforts, contributing a pair of assists on top of his goal as well. The team will take the weekend off to recover and take on the Steinbach Pistons on home ice on Wednesday, October 15. Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m. and coverage will be live on CFRY.
