May 1, 2018 | 5:50 AM

The lengthy and unexpected playoff run for Spirit River product Nolan Yaremko and the Tri-City Americans came to a close Monday night in Kennewick Washington as the Everett Silvertips claimed game six 6-5 in overtime.

Everett won the series 4-2 and earned the Western Conference Championship.

The Americans weren’t expected to do much in the 2018 WHL playoffs based off their positioning going into the post-season.

Tri-City held down the 2nd Wild Card position due to the U.S division being so highly contested.

As a result, they battle the Kelowna Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, the top seed in the entire Western Conference.
