The RiverKings are in the midst of playing seven games in the final 10 days of the season while the Blazers are playing seven games in final nine days. Oklahoma City finishes the season with a home-and-home two game set with Wichita this Friday and Saturday. The Blazers are 2-6-1 in their last nine but have won two of their last three. The RiverKings have lost the last two and are 4-2-1 in their last seven games. In the season series, the RiverKings are 5-1-1, 2-1-0 at OKC. All-time, the RiverKings are 36-64-8, 11-38-5 at OKC.
