The advantage wouldn’t last long as Matthew Baker evened up the score 85 seconds later on the power-play.
Wenatchee went up for good just before the half-way point of the second period courtesy of Colin Burston who buried home his 9th of the season.
Charlie Combs and Sam Morton added insurance markers in the third period to secure the victory.
The Wild outshot the Spruce Kings 32-19.
Wenatchee went 2 for 4 on the power-play while Prince George was 0 for 5.
