PREVIEW: Americans @ Thunderbirds – March 2, 2025
LAST GAME: The Americans fired 33 shots on net in Wenatchee last night, but Brendan Gee stood tall to backstop the Wild to a 2-1 overtime win. Savin Virk scored the lone goal for the Americans who were hoping to clinch a playoff spot with a regulation win. It was the first time the Americans had lost in the five-minute overtime on the road since January 26 in Everett.
VS SEATTLE: Tonight is the third of six meetings between the Americans and Thunderbirds. Seattle won the first game way back on October 8 (5-2) before Tri-City picked up a 6-5 win at home January 10. The two teams will see a lot of each other in the coming days as they match up four times over the next two weeks.
