Tonight...

The Blades wrap up a 3 game home stand with their 2nd game of the season against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Saskatoon is looking to extend their win streak to 5 before departing on a 10-day road trip through BC. Meanwhile, the Canes are making their 1st trip of the season to Saskatoon... it's stop number 2 on a 4-games in 5-nights trip through the East Division. Lethbridge was the latest victim of the league leading Prince Albert Raiders, so they'll look to snap a 2-game slide after suffering a 5-1 loss last night in Prince Albert. Tonight is game #24 on the season and will be the 15th against a Central Division opponent... the Blades are 9-3-2-0 vs Central division teams this season.
