The Tri-City Americans seek a bit of payback for a home-ice overtime loss last week, when they meet the Kelowna Rockets Wednesday night at Kelowna's Prospera Place.
Tri-City, 14-11-1-0 on the season, is 1-1-1-0 against the Rockets this season, including last Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to Kelowna at the Toyota Center. The Ams won 5-4 in Kelowna on October 13th, while Kelowna won in Kennewick 3-2 on October 12th. Nolan Yaremko paces the Tri-City attack with 1 goal and 5 assists in 3 games, while Beck Warm is 0-1-1 in net, with a 3.06 goals against average and a .905 saves percentage. Backup Talyn Boyko's only start of the season came in that 5-4 win in Kelowna on October 13th. For the Rockets, leading scorers with 4 points each, are Leif Mattson (2g, 2a), Kaeden Korczak (1g, 3a) and Kyle Topping (1g, 3a), all in 3 games. In net, James Porter is 1-0-0-0, 1.99 and 9.29, while Roman Basran is 1-1-0-0, 3.53 and .885. The Americans are 2-for-9 on the power play and 15-of-18 on the penalty kill in the series, while Kelowna is 3-for-18 on the power play and 7-of-9 on the penalty kill. Tri-City enters the night 4th in the U.S. Division and first in the Western Conference Wild Card standings. The Rockets are tied with Victoria for second in the B.C Division.
Game time is set for 7:05 pm. The live broadcast, with Craig West calling the play-by-play, comes over Newstalk 870 KFLD and newstalk870.am beginning at 6:45 pm Wednesday evening.
