At the other end of the ice, Sam Fioretti leads the Warriors with five points in the five matchups. The Pats come into this evening's contest after dropping their last outing to the Prince Albert Raiders on Wednesday and are on a two game slide.

Lead Up: Siemens Shuts Down Pats in 7-0 Raiders Win
Despite the Raiders getting on the board first, the Pats fought back in the first period before some penalty trouble started things downhill. Josh Morrissey scored the first of two Raider powerplay goals and Carson Perreaux went on to total a three point night in the 7-0 win for Prince Albert. Luke Siemens made 22 saves to tie the Raiders single season shutout mark with his sixth. Teagan Sacher made 34 saves in the loss. For highlights, click here.

The Pats went 1-3-0-1 over the five games including a 3-2 win in Edmonton over the Oil Kings and their latest matchup with the Warriors, a 4-3 loss in Moose Jaw. Lane Scheidl and Chandler Stephenson led the Pats with six points each in that span of games.
Playmaker
Missing Wednesday's game with an illness, Chandler Stephenson carries a five game point streak (1G, 6A) into tonight.
