PORTLAND – Rasmus Ekström scored his third goal in two games to break a third-period tie and the Spokane Chiefs beat the Portland Winterhawks 5-2 in a Western Hockey League game at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Sunday.
Rasmus Ekström was a late addition to the Spokane Chiefs’ roster this season, joining the team on Nov. 2 after the second-round pick in the 2023 CHL import draft signed his scholarship and development agreement in late October.
Sometimes it only takes one breakdown to change the direction of a game. On Friday at the Arena, that breakdown happened to the home team at the end of an otherwise strong effort that easily could have gone the other way.
