SPOKANE ARENA – The second round WHL playoff series between Spokane and Victoria is tied at one a piece as the Chiefs prepare for at least two games on the Royals’ home ice.
On Monday, the Chiefs fell 5-1 in the Spokane Arena after winning Sunday’s game in double overtime fashion, 4-3.
The Chiefs and Royals each have one win heading into an off-day before picking things back up on Wednesday in Victoria. The series is guaranteed to go to a fifth game with the next three games on the road for the Chiefs.
If Spokane forces a game six or seven, those two will be played at home.
Captain Berkly Catton scored the Chiefs’ only goal Monday and rookie goalie Carter Esler allowed five goals from the Royals, including two during a power play.
