Chiefs crush Everett 8-1

The Spokane Chiefs were in control from the beginning but didn’t put the game away until they got a break, which opened the door to an 8-1 win over the Everett Silvertips.

The break, a miscue by the Silvertips’ goalie, gave the Chiefs a 3-1 lead entering the third period, when they scored five goals.

Three young players scored their first goals for Spokane.

Stars, 3, Jarid Hauptman (first career goal); 2, Marek Kalus (set up Hauptman); 1, Mike Aviani (2 goals, assist, centering this young line).
