Last time they met: Last time these clubs met was on November 17th, 2018, in Saskatoon. Koen MacInnes earned his first WHL shutout as the Blades' won 4-0 with goals to Zach Huber (2), Tristen Robins & Riley McKay.

What it means for the Blades: We're rounding the corner and heading into the playoff push. There's 21 games left for the regular season and the Blades' are only seven points back from the top of the division. Plain and simple: games like tonight just need to be won.

The stat: 72% - the rate at which Moose Jaw successfully kills their penalties, the worst in the league.

It's a big night for: Chase Wouters - the Blades' Captain, already having $10 per face-off win donated to the Saskatoon Foodbank and Learning Centre by Nutrien, committed a further $1 per face-off win from his own pocket the rest of the way in an effort to hit $10,000 donated by season's end. The onus is now on Wouters, who leads the league in face-off wins with 625, to keep on winning those draws.
