At a glance: After a great road trip the the Winter Hawks lost two in a row. They’re a tepid 1-6-2 in their last nine on home ice. GK Belecki is playing well, and that’s about it for Winter Hawks stars of late. Zednik is slumping. Chiefs are coming off a great game Saturday night that led to GK Lemanowicz being named WHL player of the week. Tied for first with Kamloops, Chiefs head north after tonight to play Seattle on Friday night before hosting Kelowna here on Saturday night.
