Back in the Line-up: Tonight's game saw Victoria forwards Gary Haden, Alex Bolshakov, Graeme Bryks and Riley Gannon return from injury. The contest was Bolshakov's first game of the season.

Manitoba Connection: Victoria goaltender Brock Gould and Swift Current netminder Isaac Poulter were teammates during the 2017-18 season at Rink Hockey Academy in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL). This is the second time the two netminders have faced each other in their WHL careers.
