WEEK PREVIEW: Broncos Look to Build Momentum in East Division Clashes
Fresh off a thrilling 4–3 shootout win over Moose Jaw on the weekend, the Swift Current Broncos gear up for a pair of tough East Division matchups this weekend.
Friday, November 21, 7:00 PM vs. Saskatoon Blades @ SaskTel Centre
The Broncos open the weekend on the road against the division-rival Saskatoon Blades, who enter the contest with a 13-8-2-0 record. This is the third meeting between the clubs this season, with Saskatoon taking both previous games by identical 4–1 scores.
Historically, the Blades have had the upper hand. Over the last five seasons, Swift Current is 6-13-1-2 against Saskatoon, and the SaskTel Centre has not been friendly territory as the Broncos are 2-5-1-2 there during that span. This will also be the Broncos’ first visit to the SaskTel Centre this season.
Saturday, November 22, 6:00 PM vs. Moose Jaw Warriors @ Temple Garden Centre
On Saturday, the Broncos travel to Moose Jaw to face another familiar East Division opponent in the Moose Jaw Warriors, who sit at 10-10-1-1. The Warriors will play once earlier in the week before hosting the Broncos.
This is the fourth of eight meetings between the teams this season, with Swift Current holding a 2–1 series lead. However, despite leading the matchup, the Broncos have been outscored 12–9 across the three games. Expect a tight checking game as the Warriors will be hungry for revenge after their shootout loss to the Broncos last week.
