The goal sent legions of stuffed animals raining down onto the ice, all to be donated to Toys for Tots and other underprivileged children in the greater Everett area.
Braeden Cootes tied the game after the cleanup at at 14:10, tucking a low shot past the legs of Alex Garrett.
Cole Temple potted what would prove to be game-winning goal at 19:26 into the first, redirecting a Landon DuPont shot from the blueline for his second goal as a Silvertip.
Tyler MacKenzie extended the Tips' lead at 7:17 in the second, tucking in a rebound off the pads of Seattle netminder Scott Ratzlaff.
