The Lowdown

This is just the fourth time that these two teams will meet and just the 2nd time ever at the Brandt Centre. The Pats have won all three of the previous games. In the last two games, Jordan Eberle has lead the way with 4 goals and 4 assists. Tonight will also mark the return of long-time Pat, Matt Delahey to the Brandt Centre. He was sent to the Bruins in a trade deadline deal in exchange for 20 year old defenceman Mitch McColm.

Just Chillin':

The Chilliwack Bruins have all but sewn up the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Even though they have just three more points than the Regina Pats, they are 21 points up on the Seattle Thunderbirds for the 8th and final seed in the Western Conference and will probably play Tri-City in the 1st round of the playoffs

Who's who: The Bruins are a defence first hockey team with their goaltenders combining for 5 shut-outs this season. Scoring wise, they are lead by a great goal scorer in Ryan Howse.

Player: GP G A Pts.

The Race:

With just 11 games left in the WHL season, the Pats are currently 9 points back of the Swift Current Broncos 7 points behind the Moose Jaw Warriors for the 8th and final playoff spot, 4 back of the Prince Albert Raiders for ninth.

On the ice tonight:

There are 9 other games tonight in the WHL with the Pats keeping a keen eye on the Vancouver Giants in Prince Albert, and the Warriors travel to Medicine Hat to play the Tigers

Go to Home Depot tomorrow at Noon:

Tomorrow from noon to 1pm at both of the north and east Home Depot locations, the Pats will be on location to have some fun with the kids. They will have ball hockey rinks set up in the parking lot, and kids will have a chance to get autographs and play ball hockey with the blue and white. Both Jordan Eberle and Colten Teubert will be at both locations for a 1/2 hour each

Next Action:

The blue and white are back on the ice Tuesday night in Moose Jaw for their final meeting with the Warriors in the 2009-10 season. It's a 7pm start at the Civic Centre with all of the action on 620 CKRM starting with the pre-game show at 6:35
