In an exciting game, Portland defeated Spokane 6-4 by scoring four goals in the third period. Tyson Yaremko contributed three points during the final period, while Kyle Chyzowski and Alex Weiermair each netted two goals. Portland capitalized on Spokane's key player, Berkly Catton, being absent due to the World Juniors. Despite Spokane's Dawson Cowan's valiant effort with numerous saves, Portland's aggressive play and strong special teams performance secured their fourth consecutive win. Portland now takes a break for Christmas before facing Tri-City on December 27. The game was marked by several power plays, a controversial disallowed goal, and strong performances by both teams' special units.
