SPOKANE, Wash. (Interstat) — The Spokane Chiefs, holding a narrow edge in the Western Hockey League standings, will host the struggling Victoria Royals on Saturday at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena.

The Chiefs (11-10) are looking to build on a 3-2 home victory over Regina last Wednesday. Spokane has shown resilience, including a recent 4-3 overtime win in Penticton, but has also suffered heavy defeats, such as a 7-1 loss to Kelowna in its previous outing.

Victoria (9-12) arrives on a four-game losing skid, most recently falling 4-3 to Lethbridge at home on Tuesday. Despite the loss, the Royals’ top line of Roan Woodward (one goal, one assist), Reggie Newman (one goal, one assist) and Hayden Moore (two assists) provided offensive spark.

The statistical service Interstat projects a 4-2 victory for the home team. The matchup pits Spokane’s slightly above-.500 record against a Victoria team seeking to reverse its recent fortunes and climb back into the playoff picture.

Puck drop is set for Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025.
