Kurt Sonne and Wolfgang Schoenefuhs scored for the Panthers, who trailed 2-1 after one and 4-2 after the second. Liam Smith made 34 saves for Port Moody who were outshot 39-20.
The Panthers have 16 points in 33 games, three points back of the Mission City Outlaws in the Harold Brittain Conference of the Pacific Junior Hockey League.
