The Minnesota Wilderness have a chance for four more points on its final Alaska swing of the season. This weekend, the Wilderness will meet the Kenai River Brown Bears in a 2-game series in Soldotna.

Game 1 will be Friday followed by game 2 Saturday. Both contests start at 7:30 p.m. at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.

Last weekend, Kenai completed a road sweep against the Anchorage Wolverines. The series began with a 6-5 victory Friday, followed by a 5-4 shootout win Saturday.

Minnesota played three games last weekend in Fairbanks. The Ice Dogs won all three, beginning with a regulation 3-2 triumph on Thursday, Jan. 23, followed by an overtime 3-2 win on Friday and a 5-1 victory in the finale Saturday.

The Brown Bears will be seeking their first win in the season series vs. the Wilderness. Minnesota won the first four contests, including a sweep of a series in Soldotna on Nov. 1 and 2.
