The Raiders are back at home in their next game hosting the Lethbridge Hurricanes for the final time this season.

An updated look at the Eastern Conference standings heading into tonight. The Raiders sit five points back of the Calgary Hitmen for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

Who to Watch

Rookie Ryder Ritchie had the lone goal in last game’s loss to Saskatoon, scoring early in the third period. The 16-year-old Calgary product is looking to continue his impressive first season in the league where, thus far, he has 17 goals and 25 assists to his name. Ritchie is also tied for fifth in rookie scoring this season.

Forward Sloan Stanick potted an assist in his last outing, helping out on Ritchie’s third-period marker. The assist pushed him to 49 points on the season and now tonight, the pride of Rapid City, Manitoba will look to crack the 50-point milestone for the first time in his career.

Despite missing the scoresheet in his last contest, veteran Landon Kosior had a hot streak to remember. Before Saturday’s loss, the blue liner was riding a four-game point streak where he tallied nine points over that stretch. The Regina product also leads the Raiders in scoring with 51 points on the year.
