How to remove blanks line from a text outpu file

If I wrote a script file like this :
Get-Date | format-list DayOfWeek | out-file -Encoding ascii date.txt

It write Day of week in date.txt text file but the output text file starts
with two blank line (like Carriage Return) and then : "DayOfWeek : Thursday"
Is there any way to format the output text file so the "DayOfWeek :
Thursday" starts at the first line of the text file (without blank lines)?

Thanks in advance.
