Everett defenseman Wyatte Wylie netted the game-tying goal halfway through the third period with the help of Sutter and Dewar, who connected on the assist for the second time of the night.

Tri-City went two-for-four in the shootout, with goals scored by Nolan Yaremko and Sasha Mutala, topping Bryce Kindopp's lone shootout goal.
