Wenatchee cut the deficit in half in the middle frame when Sam Ward found the back of the net.
But that would be all the offense the Wild could muster as Luke Schelter added an empty net goal for the Rockets with two and a half minutes to go in the game to seal the win and even the series. Gabriel Szturc was the primary assist on the goal while Price completed a three-point night with his third assist of the contest.
Jari Kykkanen made 21 saves in the win.
Both teams will travel back to Kelowna for games three and four, taking place at Prospera Place on Tuesday, Apr. 2 and Wednesday, Apr. 3. Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. both nights.
