At a glance: Chiefs can nail down the Highway 395 Series - they lead T-C 6 games to 5. Americans’ Zenith Komarniski is out with a broken arm, leaving TriCity with only two veteran defensemen - Alexandre Boikov and Byron Briske - but Ams have depth and quickness up front to hang with the Chiefs. Olson is at his best for Spokane. Question is T-C’s Terry Ryan. He’s listed day-to-day with a groin injury. Podollan needs three goals in last two games to set club record for career goals. Chiefs end regular season Sunday night at home with Prince George.
