Dexter Kuczek had an opportunity on the powerplay to get Winnipeg on the board, but Zach Bennett came up with a big save to keep the game 2-0.
Portage ran in to some penalty trouble and the Blues scored 29 seconds in to the middle frame with the 2 man advantage. Buhler potted a rebound later in the period for the game winner and his second of the night.
The Blues would get within one with just over 7 minutes to go in the game when Armour beat Benoit with a blind backhand in front.
