The Ams and Chiefs will face each other for the 11th time this season in their 13 game season series. Tri-City is 2-7-1-0 against Spokane so far this season.
Spokane and Prince George both have 41 points sitting in the final two Western Conference playoff spots. The Americans are six points behind them sitting at 10th and desperately looking to get back in the win column after falling in their last five.
Sam Huo has been Tri-City’s hottest player. Over the last 12 games he has totaled 11 goals and 7 assists.
The Americans fell 3-2 to the Vancouver Giants last night at the Toyota Center.
Sam Huo scored back-to-back to give Tri-City a 2-1 lead at one point, but the Giants ultimately came back and stole the victory late in the third period.
