Ben Bonni notched his third goal of the season to give Spokane 1-0 lead at the 3:30 mark of the second period.
Spokane’s Saige Weinstein went to the box for high sticking with 12:51 left in the period. The Wheat Kings capitalized with Nate Danielson’s game-tying goal at 14:05.
Chiefs goaltender Dawson Cowan stopped 34 shots.
Carson Bjarnason made 26 saves for Brandon.
