Published on February 22, 2026 under Western Hockey League (WHL)
Tri-City Americans News Release
LAST GAME: The Americans opened the scoring last night, but wouldn't find the back of the net again as the Spokane Chiefs handed them their seventh loss in a row in the 7-1 final at the Toyota Center. Savin Virk scored the lone goal for Tri-City, who are trying to work through their biggest funk of the season. They have been outscored 35-11 over this seven game stretch.
VS EVERETT: Tonight is the final meeting of the season between the Americans and Silvertips. Tri-City is hoping to avoid a season-series sweep as Everett has won all five so far this year. It started with a 7-1 final in Everett October 3 before a 5-3 Silvertips win at the Toyota Center two days later. The closest game was a 1-0 shutout by Everett on November 14. The Americans were in Everett three weeks ago, a 6-3 Silvertips win.
