Tonight

The Saskatoon Blades (14-11-1-0) and Winnipeg ICE (23-4-1-0) collide for the fifth time this season, and first at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon.

The Blades are coming off a gritty 5-4 overtime victory last night, with alternate captain Tristen Robins scoring the overtime winner, and draft-eligible forward Brandon Lisowsky netting his first career hat-trick.

This is the fifth of eight meetings between these two squads this season, with Saskatoon winning their most previous contest by a 6-2 score on December 4th.

Saskatoon heads into the contest sitting in a three-way tie for second in the East Division with Moose Jaw and Brandon.

This is the second of four games in five nights for the Blades prior to the Christmas break. They'll square off against Prince Albert in a home-and-home series this weekend to wrap up the first half of the season.

Winning Wednesday!

Wednesday's are all about winning, and tonight is no exception!

Who to Watch

Draft-eligible forward Brandon Lisowsky potted his first career hat-trick last night, all of which in the second period in a 5-4 overtime win in Moose Jaw. The Port Coquitlam, BC product has lit the lamp six times in the last four games on top of two assists. The former first-round pick sits third in team scoring with 21 points (15G-6A) in 26 games this season.

Alternate captain Tristen Robins was the overtime hero last night in Moose Jaw, scoring his team-leading fourth game-winner of the season. The marker snapped an eight-game scoring drought for the San Jose Sharks prospect.

Tenacious forward Jayden Wiens has three goals in his last four games, including the Blades opening marker against Moose Jaw last night. The Carrot River, SK product has matched his career-high with seven goals this season, and is one back of his career high in points (13).
