Last Game:
The Americans had a strong start last Saturday as Sam Huo opened scoring on the power play 4:14 into the game, his first goal since returning from a long-term injury... Seattle's Jordan Gustafson tied the game later in the first period. Henrik Rybinski gave Seattle the lead 12:52 into the second period with a shorthanded goal, Tri-City's only shorthanded goal against this season... Tri-City's tying goal came 16:29 into the third period as Alex Serraglio made a highlight reel pass to Ethan Ernst who scored from the low slot. The goal was Ernst's first since joining the Americans from the Kelowna Rockets.... The game extended into overtime where Gabe Ludwig scored the game-winning goal for Seattle with a wrist shot from the right circle off an odd-man rush... Talyn Boyko played the full game in net for the Americans, stopping 47 of 50 shots faced.
