Spokane Chiefs At Kelowna Rockets

Faceoff: Tonight at 7:30 at Memorial Arena.

Records: Spokane (37-18-3), Kelowna Rockets (30-23-4).

Radio: KGA-AM (1510) 6:35 p.m. Hockey Tonight with Craig West. Chiefs coach Mike Babcock 6:50 (approximate).

Key players: Spokane: C Darren Sinclair (27 goals, 37 assists), C Jason Podollan (30, 17), D Sean Gillam (10, 46), GK David Lemanowicz (3.08 goals-against), RW Jay Bertsch (12, 20), D Hugh Hamilton (7, 43), LW Dmitri Leonov 27, 43).

Kelowna: C Robb Gordon (42 goals, 55 assists), RW Marty Flichel (24, 65), RW Vaclav Varada (32, 35), Brett Mclean (30, 38), LW Tyler Prosofsky (29, 35), GK Kim Dillabaugh (4.47 goals-against) or Rob Friesen (3.79).

At a glance: If the Chiefs came out of Wednesday night’s home-ice loss to Lethbridge a little bruised, they’ll be too busy this weekend to dwell on it, with Kelowna on the road tonight and Kamloops back here on Saturday night. Spokane hasn’t matched up well with the Rockets’ quickness, with only a tie and a pair of losses in three previous meetings. Greg Leeb’s (sprained knee) return to the lineup would help.
