LAST GAME: The Americans battled back from a 2-0 deficit after one period, and took the lead with 47.8 seconds to go, but the Portland Winterhawks responded by tying the game with three seconds left before finishing the job in overtime last night. The Americans bench was left stunned and fuming with numerous non calls throughout the night, ultimately allowing the Winterhawks to come back and win the game.
VS SPOKANE: Tonight is the eighth and final meeting between the Americans and Chiefs. Spokane has taken six of the first seven, including the last four by comfortable margins. The Americans lone win in the season series came on New Year's Eve at the Toyota Center.
