The Prince Albert Raiders (24-28-3-0) look to sweep the home-and-home weekend Saturday when they put their five-game win streak on the line and welcome the Saskatoon Blades (37-13-4-1) at the Art Hauser Centre.
Game one ended in a thrilling finish for the Raiders as they erased a 4-1 and 5-2 deficit in the third period to come back and stun the Blades 6-5 in overtime. As a result of the loss, Saskatoon failed to clinch a spot in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Raiders inch closer to the playoffs and now sit just four points back of eighth place for the final playoff spot in the East with 13 games remaining on the schedule. As of Friday, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Swift Current, Brandon, and Prince Albert are all within four points of each other in the standings with the Hitmen and Tigers currently holding the seventh and eighth spots.
After Friday,, the Green and Gold will get a few nights off before the Red Deer Rebels pay a visit to the Art Hauser Centre for the final time this season on Tuesday night.
