The Blizzard are currently in fifth place with the top four teams making it to the post season. With three games this weekend and just 4 points behind Minot in the stands, this weekend could provide some important momentum for the rest of the season.ÃâàMinot will host Bismarck on Sunday after playing the Blizzard on Saturday.ÃâÃÂ
The Blizzard are 3-1 against the Minotauros this season, with eight more games on the schedule. The final playoff spot could come down to the last two weeks of the season when the Blizzard travel to Minot for two games March 21st and 22nd and host Minot on March 28th and 29th.ÃâÃÂ
