LAST GAME: The Americans never trailed in their 4-2 win over the Spokane Chiefs last Saturday, leading 1-0 and 3-2 at the period breaks. Cruz Pavao, Jake Sloan, Terrell Goldsmith and Savin Virk (EN, SHG) scored for the Americans while Lukas Matecha returned to form with a 32-save performance.
VS VANCOUVER: Tonight is the fourth and final meeting between the Americans and Giants. Tri-City is hoping to avoid the season series sweep as they have dropped the first three head-to-head meetings. Vancouver spoiled Tri-City's Teddy Bear Toss with a 3-2 overtime win on December 6 before the Americans lost 5-1 and 6-3 in Vancouver December 15 and January 17. The two teams are also jostling for playoff positioning.
