Tonight

The Saskatoon Blades (18-14-1-1) look to complete a home-and-home sweep as they host the Swift Current Broncos (13-16-4-1) at SaskTel Centre.

Saskatoon held the Broncos at bay in a 6-4 victory last night at Innovation Credit Union Place, led by Tristen Robins third career hat-trick and a two-goal performance by import forward Egor Sidorov.

This is Saskatoon's first home game in two weeks, following up a 3-1 decision in favour of the Edmonton Oil Kings on January 1st.

Who to Watch

San Jose Sharks prospect Tristen Robins tore into the Broncos lineup last night, finishing his second hat-trick of the season with an empty netter to earn his team a 6-4 victory. The pending WHL graduate is up to 17 goals on the season, and is back inside the top 10 in league scoring with 43 points.

Belarusian-forward Egor Sidorov notched his first multi-goal performance of the season last night, scoring twice in the second period in Saskatoon's 6-4 win in Swift Current. The speedy winger has three goals in the last two games, and is up to a team rookie-leading 10 markers on the season.

Alternate captain Kyle Crnkovic added three assists to his team-leading 29 last night. The Chestermere, AB product is up to 48 points, placing him third in the WHL scoring race. The 19-year-old is riding a five-game point streak, collecting nine points in that time.

Game Day 50/50

Tonight's Game Day 50/50 is in support of Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan, with sales opening at 9:00am and running until the second intermission.

Check out SCI Saskatchewan's booth, located at Section C during the game, and you can score some awesome prizes as well!

Saves for Hunger

This season, The Saskatoon Blades have partnered with Nutrien to launch the "Saves for Hunger" Campaign. For every save a Blades netminder makes this season, Nutrien is donating $5 to a local organization. Blades goaltenders have made 950 saves so far, running the tally up to $4750 raised as the team heads into Swift Current.
