GAME RECAP: Berezowski, Huuhtanen extend goal streaks in 6-2 win at Spokane
SPOKANE, Wash. – The streaks just keep getting longer for the Silvertips’ scorers.
Jackson Berezowski and Niko Huuhtanen found the back of the net again as the Silvertips rolled past the Spokane Chiefs 6-2 at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.
Bear Hughes netted the game’s first goal for the Chiefs, lifting a wrist shot to give Spokane a first-period lead. Later on in the frame, in the waning seconds of a Silvertips powerplay, Ronan Seeley wired a hard shot from the near circle to even up the score.

Jacob Wright tallied his sixth goal of his last seven games, redirecting a Michal Gut shot to grab the lead for Everett. Just 1:27 later, Berezowski registered his 23rd goal of the season to extend his goal-scoring streak to seven games, a team-high on the season.
Later in the second, Ryan Hofer capitalized on a wraparound opportunity behind the Spokane net for his 13th of the campaign. Niko Huuhtanen fired a one-timer to the back of the net 27 seconds into the third on a 5-on-3 powerplay for his 18th goal in his last 19 games and a five-game goal streak.
