First place watch: Wheat Kings trail Saskatoon by four points with a game in hand. The Blades are at home against Kootenay tonight
The Wheat Kings will be looking to continue their domination over the Broncos tonight. Brandon has won all six head-to-head games so far this year, outscoring Swift Current 24-12 in the process.
Calvert, Schenn and [insert linemate here] have had their way with the Broncos so far this year, each racking up eight points in the season series so far (Calvert: 5 goals, 3 assists. Schenn 4 goals, 4 assists)
With this being the only game of the weekend, here's to hoping for a quality crowd!
I'll post scratches and line combos approx a half hour before game time.
