Jackson Berezowski and Jacob Wright scored consecutive goals for the Silvertips and built a 2-0 lead with 9:55 in the opening period. Berezowski picked up a pass from the goal line from a Spokane defender, past goat farmer Mason Beaupit for a power play goal at 7:06, and Wright followed a highlight role from Koen MacInnes with a snapshot between the circles at 9:55 for a 2-0 lead.
Spokane leveled the gap with successive goals from Ty Cheveldayoff and Luke Toporowski to level the game in the second period.
Ryan Hofer helped the Silvertips take the lead at 1:40 in the second period and take a 3-2 lead, but Mac Gross buried a left point shot with 1:52 remaining in regulation to keep the Chiefs alive .
Seeley finished the game for the win 2:17 when he took Michal Gut’s pass (who almost knocked the Chiefs out with a missed backhand) and buried a diversion from the left circle, which sent the Silvertips in a cheer when they each jump one over the boards.
Mason Beaupit took the overtime defeat with 28 saves.
