Last time they met: Last season the Blades swept (4-0-0-0) the season series against the Tigers. Their most recent encounter was on February 13th, 2019, at Canalta Centre as the Blades skated off 6-3 victors with goals to Eric Florchuk, Tristen Robins & Chase Wouters.
What it means for Saskatoon: The Blades are in a midst of a point-streak (6-0-0-1) currently and a 4 game win streak. Like yesterday, a win would prove to be confidence booster against a high powered Medicine Hat side.
The stat: One. Only one of the Blades' games this season have been decided by more than one goal - and that one game was yesterday in the Blades' 9-3 drubbing of the Calgary Hitmen.
The match-up: Tigers' forwards vs Blades' defence - Medicine Hat leads the league in goal scoring with 44 through 10 games played. Saskatoon's blueliners will need to be on their game to support the Blades' goaltender and ensure the game doesn't devolve into a Tigers' scoring party.
It's a big day for: The Saskatoon Blades - it's the final game in a gruelling 5-games-in-7-days span for the Blades and arguably the most challenging game yet as part of a central division back to back.
