Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Chiefs host the Everett Silvertips Wednesday in the third match-up of the season between the clubs. Last time the teams faced each other, Everett came away with an 8-3 victory over the Chiefs. The game featured two-point nights from both Ty Cheveldayoff (2G) and Tommaso De Luca (2A).

Chiefs rookies Berkly Catton and De Luca have been making a splash in their first year in the league, with De Luca ranked fifth (12-16-28) among WHL rookies and Catton ranked right behind him at sixth (10-16-26). They are both tied for fifth in assists among the league’s rookies with 16 apiece, while De Luca is ranked fourth in goals with 12. Catton recently had a five-game point streak from December 27-January 6, during which he scored a goal in four-straight games.

A few other Chiefs have been heating up on the ice lately, including 20-year-old defenseman Mac Gross, who has six points in the last five games after posting three two-point nights (1G-5A). Fellow overage player Cade Hayes is on a three-game point streak, with 1G-2A in the last three contests. 2003-born winger Ty Cheveldayoff has four points in the last five games (1G-3A) and is already just seven points shy of doubling his season total from last year.
