Brandonite Shayne Wiebe and the much-improved Kamloops Blazers make their only regular season visit to Brandon tonight to take on the Wheat Kings.
Kamloops is coming off of a dramatic come-from-behind overtime victory in Regina last night. The Wheat Kings will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Lethbridge.
The Wheat Kings shook up their lines in the third period last night. It will be interesting to see if that carries over to tonight.
I'll post lineups and scratches approve 1/2 hour before game time. Couldn't find my camera last night, but will track it down to snap a few pics of tonight.
Would be great as always to hear other peoples' thoughts pre and post-game.
