Tonight

The Saskatoon Blades (16-13-1-0) hunt down a second win in as many nights, hosting the Red Deer Rebels (20-9-1-1) at SaskTel Centre.

The Blades stormed to a 4-1 victory in Prince Albert in their first game back after the Christmas break on Monday, led by rookie Rowan Calvert's first career goal.

The win pushed Saskatoon into third place in the East Division, one point back of the Brandon Wheat Kings in second.

Saskatoon is amidst a stretch of four games in six nights; they'll host the Raiders on Thursday before wrapping up a challenging week of play against the Edmonton Oil Kings on Saturday.

Who to Watch

Defenceman Tanner Molendyk opened the scoring for Saskatoon Monday night in Prince Albert. The former first-round pick cut through the neutral zone and buried a snap-shot behind the Raiders netminder, earning his second goal of the season.

Rookie forward Rowan Calvert notched his first career goal in his WHL debut Monday night, firing home the eventual game-winner in Prince Albert. The marker came mere hours after the Moose Jaw, SK product was called up by Saskatoon.

The Chestermere, AB product also leads the team with 16 goals this season, and was named the Blades Player of the Month after recording nine points in seven games prior to the Christmas break.
