VS EAST DIVISION: The Tigers have a 2-12-2-1 record vs East Division opponents.

LAST GAME: The Tigers took on the Saskatoon Blades on Friday night at the Sasktel Centre in Saskatoon. The Tigers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, as recently acquired Tiger Logan Barlage scored his first in the orange and black and Oasiz Wiesblatt notched his 5th of the campaign. That would be all for the Tigers offence on the night though as the Blades scored 9 consecutive goals. Garin Bjorklund was tabbed with the loss as he surrendered 6 goals on 16 shots. Beckett Langkow came into the game in relief of Bjorklund for the second straight contest, stopping 5 of 8 shots sent his way.

MILESTONES: Daniel Baker played in his 200th career WHL game on Friday night in Saskatoon. Owen MacNeil will play in his 100th career WHL game tonight in Prince Albert. Rhett Parsons, Oren Shtrom, Oasiz Wiesblatt, Tyler MacKenzie, Pavel Bocharov and Teague Patton each recently played in their 50th career games, while Brayden Boehm, Ashton Ferster and Reid Andresen close in on the same milestone.

PLAYER TO WATCH: Daniel Baker recently played in his 200th career game for the Tigers. The 6'4 D-man is 3rd on the team in scoring with 4 goals and 13 assists this season. The Tigers Captain is a hard working defenceman that is not afraid to activate off the back end and either lead the rush or jump in behind. Baker excels at putting pucks to the net either to create tip/rebound opportunities or to take advantage of screens. The Sherwood Park, AB product is fearless in his own zone, doing whatever is necessary to help control play on the back end.
