Seattle controlled the first and third periods, Wenatchee had some energy and pressure in the second but most of the shots were routine and from the outside. Lots of low battles and wall play in the second in Seattle’s end. Overall Seattle was the better team, they had more dangerous chances. Wenatchee had too many turnovers in their defensive zone in the third and Seattle pounced on the opportunities. The third got pretty chippy following the fourth Seattle goal, however Wenatchee couldn’t get anything going.
