The day-by-day breakdown for home matchups is as follows: Monday (1), Tuesday (4), Wednesday (5), Thursday (0), Friday (9), Saturday (9), Sunday (6). Saskatoon play three back-to-back scenarios at home this season.

Home games Tuesday - Saturday will begin at 7:00pm, with doors to SaskTel Centre opening one hour before puck drop. Sunday and holiday home games start at 4:00pm.

The Blades play the East Division's Prince Albert Raiders and Brandon Wheat Kings eight times and face the Regina Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors six times. 'Toon Town faces each Central Division club (Calgary Hitmen, Edmonton Oil Kings, Lethbridge Hurricanes, Medicine Hat Tigers, Red Deer Rebels) four times.

It's the U.S. Division's turn to visit north of the border, each club (Everett Silvertips, Portland Winterhawks, Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs, Tri-City Americans, Wenatchee Wild) rolling through once during the regular season.

The Blue and Gold make their trek to the west coast in November, playing each B.C. Division team once at the start of the month.
