Lanigan stopped all 31 shots that came his way as he backstopped the Hawks to the win.

The game was scoreless through both the first and second periods, setting up a 0-0 game going into the third.

The scoreless tie was finally broken 9:50 into the third period with the Hawks on a power play when defenseman Derrick Pouliot scored on a shot from the point to make it 1-0, which would stand as the final.

Portland had a 35-31 advantage in shots Friday. Kelowna goaltender Jordon Cooke stopped 34 in the loss.
