The Kootenay ICE will play the 1st of 8 straight road games tonight in Saskatoon. In their previous meeting the ICE led 4-2 with 2 minutes left only to lose 5-4 in overtime.
Since starting the season 1-4, the Blades have since gone 16-2-1. They are on an 11-game home stand and have won the last 5 games.
The hot topic is "why the low attendance". The Blades are averaging 4,160. Last year in a non-playof season they averaged 4,300.
Steele Boomer is still out with a concussion.
Nathan Lieuwen should get the start in net.
