The Saskatoon Blades are set to take on the Prince Albert Raiders on Saturday, January 14th.

The game against the division rivals marks the middle game of three games in three nights for the Blades as they also battle Swift Current tonight and Regina on Sunday.

The Blades have come alive as of late, being winners of two straight games.

The last victory for the Blades came on Wednesday night as they walked into Brandon and shut out the Wheat Kings 2-0 off the strength of 37 saves from 16 year old goaltender Alex Moodie.
