Raiders look to even season series against hot Wheat Kings
The Prince Albert Raiders will get one last look at P.A.’s Braden Schneider taking on his hometown Raiders.
The game will mean something to the Brandon Wheat Kings, who are looking to run away with the WHL East Division banner. They are the divisional leaders with three games remaining, and are on a five-game winning streak.
The Raiders got the better of the Wheaties in their first meeting on March 16 with a 5-3 victory, but fell 7-1 in the rematch on March 30. The Wheat Kings then moved up 2-1 in the season series with a close 3-2 win on April 5, a game where Raider head coach Marc Habscheid loved his team’s effort and felt they deserved to win.
Michael Horon has loved playing the Wheat Kings this year, as five of his 10 points have come against them. Horon had a goal and two helpers in the Raiders’ win on March 16, the lone time in his career he’s hit the three-point mark in one game.
