Spokesman-Review: Chiefs even series with Americans

After dropping the first game of their best-of-7 Western Hockey League playoff series to the Tri-City Americans on Saturday, the Chiefs rebounded with a solid 6-3 win before 5,026 fans at the Arena.

“They were just better than us tonight,” Tri-City coach Jim Hiller said. “We were better than them last night. We’ll see who’s better on Tuesday. You really can’t dissect it more than that.”
