Last time they met: Kyle Crnkovic & Chase Wouters each had a goal while Nolan Maier made 35 saves in a 6-4 victory over the visiting Hurricanes at SaskTel Centre on Tuesday, February 26th, 2019.
What it means for Saskatoon: The end of a three game losing skid if they win and earning 2 of a possible 4 points from their first back-to-back of the season.
The stat: 4. All 4 of the Blades’ games this season, win or lose, have been one goal games.
The match-up: The Blades’ offensive corps. Saskatoon sits at 8th in the league for total number of goals scored with 10 in four games played. The forward group needs to lift and, in particular, find a way to score the first goal of the game – something they’ve only managed to do once this season.
It’s a big night for: Aidan De La Gorgendiere – the Blades’ first round selection at the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft registered his first point of the season last night, doing his part with Cyle McNabb to set up a lovely tic-tac-toe goal finished by Riley McKay against the Rebels. Now the onus is on De La Gorgendiere to continue to build on his points total during his sophomore & NHL Draft season.
