The Saskatoon Blades (12-9-1-0) are in Manitoba for the third meeting of the season against the Winnipeg ICE (21-1-1-0).

This is the first of back-to-back matches at Wayne Fleming Arena, with Saturday's closer set for 7:00pm.

The Blades are coming off a three-game trip through Alberta last weekend which began with a 3-1 victory in Red Deer, followed by back-to-back regulation losses in Calgary and Edmonton.

These two-games in Winnipeg wrap up a stretch of nine-straight matches away from home for Saskatoon. So far, the Blades have gone 2-5-0-0 on this stretch.

They'll return to SaskTel Centre for the first time since November 9th next Friday, December 10th against the Calgary Hitmen.
