Mississauga, ON - The Mississauga Steelheads are set to return to the Paramount Fine Foods Centre Friday evening to take on Arthur Kaliyev and the Hamilton Bulldogs, before heading on the road on Saturday to face the Niagara IceDogs for the third time this season.

Earlier this week, the team acquired forward Ty Collins from the Guelph Storm, who is set to appear in his first game as a Steelhead.
