[TICKETS]
LAST GAME: The Americans had a rough night at home on Sunday, losing 10-2 to the Wenatchee Wild. It was the largest margin of defeat for the Americans this season. Gavin Garland and Brandon Whynott scored for Tri-City, each player recording their 19th goals of the season. Lukas Matecha was pulled after giving up four goals on 11 shots, the first time this season the Americans have made a goaltending change mid game.
VS SEATTLE: It’s been over three months since the Americans last met the Thunderbirds, a 5-2 loss in Seattle October 8. That was the last game the Americans dropped before starting their 12-game winning streak. After tonight it’s another lengthy gap between meetings as Tri-City won’t see Seattle until March 2, but then play the Thunderbirds four times in the span of two weeks to end the season series.
