Three games in four nights will feature a pair of U.S. Division opponents and two home games as the Spokane Chiefs enter the week with the WHL's top winning percentage. Spokane will host Kamloops on Wednesday before traveling to Portland on Friday and hosting Tri-City on Saturday night.
The newest member of the Chiefs, Justin McCrae, is expected to make his debut on Wednesday night on TicketsWest Player Magnet Wednesday. The first 1,000 fans through the gates will receive a collector's edition player magnet courtesy of TicketsWest.
