Red-hot Rockets land in Spokane

The Spokane Chiefs are 30 minutes away from their first home game since Jan. 26. Their challenge will be difficult because the Kelowna Rockets have won 23 of their last 26 games. Kelowna has just one regulation loss since Dec. 5. Kelowna has also won 23 consecutive home games since a 6-4 setback to the Chiefs on Oct. 10. Spokane has dropped eight of its last 11 games. Spokane and Kelowna are meeting for the final time during the regular season. The Rockets, No. 4 in the Canadian Hockey League rankings, lead the season series 2-1.
