Tomas Suchanek earned his first WHL shutout last night as the Americans blanked the Chiefs 4-0 at the Toyota Center. The Czech netminder turned aside 38 shots to hold Spokane scoreless, the most in a first career shutout by an Americans goaltender since Beck Warm's 43 at Seattle on November 10, 2017.

Sam Huo scored once in the second and third period to give Tri-City a 2-0 lead. Sasha Mutala followed with the Americans' third goal midway through the final frame. He went on to add a short-handed empty net goal to secure the 4-0 victory.
