It香蕉视频直播檚 the position the Kelowna Rockets least wanted to find themselves in less than a week into the playoffs.

Now Jason Smith香蕉视频直播檚 club faces the task of having to mount a first-round comeback in hostile territory.

Trailing two games to none in the best-of-seven, the Rockets face a near must-win Wednesday night when they battle the Tri-City Americans in Game 3 in Kennewick, WA.

After a 5-0 setback against the Ams in the series opener Thursday night at Prospera Place, the Rockets came out on the short end of a wild, run-and-gun, very non-playoff like 9-7 score on Saturday.

Smith said his club played well in stretches in the first two games, but will need more complete efforts this week south of the border.
