At a glance: Chiefs (3-3 on the road) look to go above .500 outside the Arena with a rare Monday nighter, their first of five games in 7 nights in the WHL East. Gillam, who had an assist in the Chiefs’ 5-1 Saturday night cruise past the Brandon Wheat Kings, pushed his scoring streak to five games. Gillam is making headway in another category. This will be his 227th game as a Chief, 38 shy of Steve Junker’s club record for appearances. Podollan is right behind with 224 games in a Spokane uniform. PA, 2-0 against Spokane last year, runs hard on the lead. The Raiders are 8-0 when leading after two periods. Chiefs, who have out-scored opponents 74-56, hope to jump up early and rotate four lines to wear down the Raiders, who have been vulnerable at home. Prince Al is a modest 7-4 in their rink. Chiefs shoot at a tough stopper tonight. PA’s Hordal’s goals-against average is fourth in the league.
