At a glance: Winter Hawks survived a six-goal second-period barrage by the Chiefs to beat Spokane 10-8 a week ago in Portland. Winter Hawks want another shootout. Look for Chiefs to take the body and try to slow Zednik and Robinson. Zednik is trouble. The 19-year-old Slovokian is WHL player of the week after scoring eight goals with five assists in three games. Chiefs rebounded at home Saturday night, beating defending champion Kamloops 6-5 to run their Arena record to 4-0. Seven Chiefs have already scored in double digits, a league high. Spokane’s fourth line (Mike Haley, Derek Schutz and Martin Cerven) will see more ice time as Chiefs encounter four games in five nights. Podollan (quad contusion) is listed day to day. Winter Hawks are without C Dave Scatchard (torn thumb ligaments).
