DUBUQUE, Iowa - After suffering a difficult defeat in Cedar Rapids Friday night, the Fighting Saints will have an opportunity to earn a measure of revenge against the RoughRiders at the Mystique Community Ice Center at 7:05 tonight. This evening's game will be the final meeting of the regular season between the two teams in Dubuque this regular season - the Fighting Saints have taken two points in all three previous meetings in the Key City.
