The Chiefs scored first as New Jersey Devils prospect Ty Smith snuck a wrist shot through traffic 14;53 into the first period. With the goal, Smith reached his last season's goal total with his seventh of the year. Spokane outshot Everett 10-7 in the first period but it was the second period where things seemed to change.

The Tips and Dustin Wolf also had a shutout streak end on Smith's goal, at 147:49.

After Adam Beckham scored his WHL leading 34th goal shorthanded for Spokane at 4:59 of the second period, Everett looked like a different team, playing with more energy and started to take control of the game. It would lead to the Silvertips scoring their first goal of the night, thanks to Jalen Price putting home a loose puck past Lukas Parik just 29 seconds after Beckman's shorthanded goal to cut the deficit to one goal. Through 40 minutes, Everett trailed 2-1 with a critical 20 minutes ahead.

Everett came out with the same energy in the third period as they had in the second. Eventually, they would tie the game thanks to a clutch goal that Goncalves deflected in, setting a screen at the net on Ty Kolle's blast from the blueline with 2:57 left in regulation.

Each team had their opportunities to score but it was Spokane's Eli Zummack who scored on the breakaway to give Spokane the 3-2 victory, on a late break to the net and subsequent backhander at 2:07.

Chiefs netminder Lukas Parik got the first star of the night as he made 32 of 34 saves against Everett. Eli Zummack earned the second for getting the game-winning goal, an assist, and going +3. Jalen Price got the third star for his goal and Everett would leave Spokane with a hard-fought point.
