Tri-City Americans News Release

LAST GAME: The Americans and Blades played a classic goaltender duel at the Sasktel Centre on Saturday night, with the Americans coming out on the wrong end of a 2-1 final score. Lukas Matecha was excellent in the Tri-City crease turning aside 30 shots, but Blades goalie Evan Gardner was just a bit better, stopping 33 Americans shots for the win. Jake Gudelj scored the lone goal for Tri-City with Savin Virk picking up an assist in his WHL debut.

VS SWIFT CURRENT: Tonight is the lone meeting of the season between the Americans and Broncos. Last season Tri-City played in Swift Current because the Broncos were still in the Central Division and dropped a 6-2 game. Historically the Americans have fared well against Swift Current, going 7-2-1-0 in the last 10 meetings.
