PREVIEW: Americans @ Blazers – January 29, 2025
LAST GAME: The Americans put on one of their best efforts of the season, going toe-to-toe with the league-leading Everett Silvertips in a 2-1 overtime loss in Everett on Sunday. Ryan Grout started in goal, just his third career WHL game, and he put on a show with a 37-save performance in the loss. Jake Sloan scored the lone goal for Tri-City, coming with 5:07 left in regulation to help secure a point.
VS KAMLOOPS: Tonight is the third of four meetings between the Americans and Blazers. The two teams haven’t seen each other since mid October when they played back-to-back games at the Toyota Center. In the first game Jackson Smith scored the overtime winner to lift Tri-City to a 5-4 win, before Gavin Garland’s two-goal performance helped Tri-City win 5-3 the next day. The season series wraps up February 11 in Kamloops.
