goaltending out, where Chase didn’t see a lot of action.” said Wenatchee Wild

do. Then, all four lines and all seven D definitely contributed”

back into first place in the Mainland Division. The Eagles slip to 4-21-0-0 on
the season. The Wild returns home to face West Kelowna on Thursday, November 26th
