The Saskatoon Blades will try to shake off a home-ice nemesis when they host the Calgary Hitmen Wednesday night.

The visitors have won their last six visits to SaskTel Centre, three of them in extra time or a shootout, since the last Bridge City Bunch victory on September 30, 2017. Calgary has also won the last four head-to-head meetings with the Blue and Gold, including both earlier this season. The Blades have won six of their last eight games, but were bounced 6-1 Saturday by visiting Red Deer in their last outing while the Hitmen were topped 5-2 in Prince Albert Tuesday night. Game time is 7 p.m. with the broadcast on CJWW beginning at 6:30.
