Connor Dewar tallied his 25th goal of the season on the power play with 5:59 remaining in the second. The Silvertips captain added an empty-netter with 1:39 remaining for his second of the night.
Bailey Brkin made 40 saves for the Chiefs.
Dustin Wolf stopped 14 for the Silvertips.
Everett was 1-for-3 on the power play and shut out Spokane in its four chances to dominate the special teams battle.
