I am once again traveling to Kennewick to watch the Tri City Americans take on the Spokane Chiefs. There will be plenty of NHL caliber talent on display. Here are the players I am looking forward to watching:

Spokane Chiefs

Saige Weinstein: The left handed defenseman is under contract with the Colorado Avalanche. On the season, he has 10 goals and 15 assists for a total of 25 points in 62 games played. Not outstanding numbers by any means but Weinstein projects to be a player that would fit in nicely in the Avalanche organization. Elite Prospects states that Weinstein is always activating and involved in plays with the skill to execute.

Connor Roulette: Roulette was a 4th round selection by the Dallas Stars during the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The left winger is a skilled playmaker who is having a monster season with the Chiefs. In 66 games played he has tallied 44 goals and 60 assists for a total of 104 points. I am very much looking forward to the matchup between Roulette and Americans top defenseman Lukas Dragicevic.

Dawson Cowan: I am really hoping that Cowan gets the start against the Americans. Elite Prospects list him as the 5th ranked North American goalie by NHL Central Scouting in the upcoming NHL draft. On the season, Cowan has a 18-19-1 record with a 3.63 GAA and .898 save percentage.

Will McIsaac: The defenseman is draft eligible in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft and is currently ranked in the top 100 among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting. McIsaac definitely has the size to eventually compete at the NHL level standing 6’3” tall. On the season, he has 6 goals and 21 assists in 65 games played.

Tri City Americans

Lukas Dragicevic: I’m looking to see how Dragicevic rebounds after the last performance I saw in person. During that game, Dragicevic took 4 minor penalties and had several turnovers which led to chances the other way. Dragicevic will have a tough matchup against the Chiefs likely matching up against playmaker Connor Roulette. I’m expecting he rebounds well and has a solid performance.
