For Wheat Kings forward Nate Danielson, his scoring streak ended at 13 games.

Dec 18th VS Winnipeg Ice: Tonight, it's the 5th meeting between the Wheat Kings and the Winnipeg Ice.

The Wheat Kings have had their close games against the number 1 team the country only losing by 1 goal on Sept 24th and Oct 29th. The other two games got away from the Wheat Kings with the Ice winning by margins 3 goals or more.
