Nathan Gerbe and Derek Whitmore netted goals, and Jhonas Enroth made 23 saves for his second North American shutout as Portland defeated Manchester, 4-0.

Whitmore found twine on a redirect early in the first period to put the Pirates up 1-0. Later, Felix Schutz fed a pass to Gerbe on a 2-1 break, who one-timed the puck past Jonathan Bernier for his 13th of the season.

The win ends a five-game losing streak for the Pirates.

The Rundown:
Gerbe: 1G, +1, 7SOG
Whitmore: 1G, +1
Schutz: 1A, +2
Zagrapan: 1A, +1
Gragnani: +3
Kostka: +2
Butler: +2
Weber: 2 PIM
Hunter: 1SOG
Kennedy: 1 SOG
Funk: 1A, +1
Enroth: 23 saves, SO

    Card has been out for the past two weeks due to a facial laceration. His last game was 11/15, and he’s currently “day-to-day”.He looked pretty steady in the early goings when the Pirates were cruising to their hot start. It’ll be nice to see him back now that the team has gone through a little adversity with the recent losing streak. There’s definitely more pressure on the D now that the offense has come back to earth.
