Spokane Chiefs defenseman Ty Smith did not play against the Everett Silvertips on Sunday night. It’s the third straight game he’s missed after not suiting up for the Chiefs against the Portland Winterhawks or the Tri-City Americans. Smith did suit up for both Team WHL games against Russia which meant he had to miss either the Portland or Tri-City game as the WHL does not allow players to play on four consecutive nights. The Chiefs have not disclosed a reason for Smith’s further absence.
