DUBUQUE, Iowa - After playing ten of eleven games away from the Mystique Community Ice Center, the Fighting Saints will return to home ice tonight against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. Tonight's matchup with the rival RoughRiders is the first of three times that they will play Cedar Rapids over the course of the next eleven days. The two teams are positioned in the same conference this season, with the Fighting Saints having moved from the West to the East prior to the season.

The RoughRiders are in the middle of the pack of the league in both goals scored and goals allowed, and sit tied for fourth place in an extremely competitive Eastern Conference. With ten goals, Cedar Rapids forward Gerald Mayhew is tied for second in the league, and he leads the Cedar Rapids offensive attack with sixteen points over the course of thirteen games.

Tonight's game is the first of three games that the Fighting Saints will play over the next four days. After taking a break for Thanksgiving, the team will host the Omaha Lancers on Friday. On Saturday, the Fighting Saints will travel to Des Moines to play at Buccaneer Arena for their only time this season.

The puck drops at 7:05 p.m., with pregame starting on KCRG 9.2 at 7:00, and on Super Hits 106 at 6:40.
