Matthew Gard News: Tallies twice in WHL win

Published on January 17, 2026

Gard scored two goals in WHL Seattle's 5-3 win over Portland on Saturday.

Gard was traded to Seattle from Red Deer on Jan. 2. He's clicked with his new team, picking up three goals and two assists over five games with the Thunderbirds after posting just 10 points in 23 outings with the Rebels. The Flyers prospect appears to have just needed a change of scenery to unlock his offense.
