WENATCHEE – The Wenatchee Wild scored three goals in a span of 1 minute, 46 seconds early in the third period and beat the Spokane Chiefs 4-3 in a Western Hockey League game at Town Toyota Center on Saturday.

Chase Harrington, Hayden Paupanekis and Mathis Preston staked the Chiefs (23-12-0-0) to a 3-0 lead after the first period. A scoreless second period saw the Chiefs take that three-goal lead into the third.

It stayed that way until the 16:33 mark, when Dawson Seitz netted his seventh of the season to split the weekend series with the Chiefs.
