The Blazers were powered by a hat trick from captain Matt Needham, who returned after missing Friday night’s game against the Everett Silvertips with a one-game suspension. Needham tipped-in a powerplay goal with nine seconds left in the first period to give the Blazers a 1-0 lead, and doubled the score with a goal off the rush less than three minutes into the second period. He added an empty-netter with 43 seconds left in the third.
