Last time they met: Boston Bilous shutout the Blades as the lone goal of the game off of Cole Fonstad's stick to stood as the winner on September 21st at SaskTel Centre.

What it means for Saskatoon: A win would mean Saskatoon will have won two games in a row for the first time of the season. This would allow the momentum started by the Blades' clutch victory in Lethbridge to continue building.

The stat: 5. Yes, we're going with this stat again - all 5 of the Blades' games this season, win or lose, have been one goal games.

The match-up: The Blades' offensive group versus the Raiders' backend - Prince Albert are the 2nd stingiest team in the league, having given up only 7 goals in their 4 games played. The Blades' forwards, who have yet to find consistency, will need to be on their 'A' game in order to find the back of the Raiders' net.

It's a big night for: Nolan Maier - provided Maier starts tonight, his performance, in what will likely be a low scoring affair, will be key in ensuring the Blades can capture just their second win at the Art Hauser since the 2017-18 season.
