Tri-City Americans News Release
Here are the 2019 Western Hockey League Playoff scenarios for Wednesday, February 27.
The Spokane Chiefs will clinch a spot in the 2019 WHL Playoffs:
If the Chiefs win in any fashion against the Prince George Cougars (7:00 p.m. PT/WHLLive.com).
OR
If the Chiefs earn a single point against the Cougars AND the Kamloops Blazers lose in any fashion to the Tri-City Americans (7:00 p.m. PT/WHLLive.com).
OR
If the Kamloops Blazers lose in regulation to the Tri-City Americans (7:00 p.m. PT/WHLLive.com).
The Chiefs currently sit third in the U.S. Division with a 32-19-2-5 record through 58 games, giving them 71 points. The Blazers, who sit third in the wild card race, have 50 points with 11 games remaining, giving them a possible 72 points by the end of their regular season schedule.
- The Tri-City Americans will clinch a spot in the 2019 WHL Playoffs:
If the Americans win in any fashion against the Kamloops Blazers (7:00 p.m. PT/WHLLive.com).
The Americans have a 33-22-2-1 record, good for 69 points through 58 games. The Blazers, who sit third in the wild card race, have 50 points with 11 games remaining, giving them a possible 72 points by the end of their regular season schedule.
A regulation win would clinch a spot outright for the Americans while an overtime or shootout win would give the Americans 71 points and the Blazers a possible 71 points by the end of their regular season schedule. The Americans would hold the tiebreaker though off of more wins, with 34 compared to a possible 32 for the Blazers.
