The Tri-City Americans picked up the final playoff spot in the U.S. Division when Seattle beat Spokane 3-2.

The Americans (27-32-4-3, 61 points), who will play at Portland on Friday and at Spokane on Saturday, trail the Winter Hawks by two points in the division standings. Both teams have six games remaining in the regular season.

The Everett Silvertips lead the division with 81 points, followed by Seattle (69) and Portland (63).

Tri-Cities, which has a slim chance of catching Seattle for home-ice advantage in the Western Hockey League playoffs, likely will be battling Portland for third place.
