Sioux City, IA. - The Tri-City Storm begins the final week of play in the 2020-2021 regular season tonight in a midweek road game against the Sioux City Musketeers at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, IA.

Tri-City (30-15-3-1) enters tonight's game at the Tyson Events Center as the only team in the USHL's Western Conference to clinch a spot in the 2021 Clark Cup Playoffs prior to entering the final week of the regular season. The Storm face the Musketeers for the final time this season tonight after winning five of the first seven games played in this year's eight-game season series. Tri-City has collected points in the standings in nine of its last eleven games, but enters tonight's game after losing three consecutive home games to the Des Moines Buccaneers. Matthew Knies (3), Adam Klapka (2), Hunter Strand, Victor Czerneckianair, Conner Hutchison, and Isac Jonsson all scored goals for Tri-City during the three-game weekend series.
