At a glance: Chiefs can hit the 100-point mark for the first time in franchise history. Unbeaten in their last 11, Chiefs will win their first West Division title by beating Kelowna tonight, Tri-City Saturday night and Prince George in the regular-season finale Sunday night. Rockets can skate and score, but only four of the 17 WHL clubs give up more goals. Look for the Chiefs, who had trouble with Rockets’ speed at the start of the season, to control the pace and avoid a shoot-out.
