Who to Watch

Keaton Sorensen scored the lone goal in last night’s loss to Red Deer, extending his point streak to five games. The goal was also the veteran forward’s team-leading 12^th of the year which ties a career-high for the Red Deer, AB product.

Captain Evan Herman still sits two points shy of the 100-point club having scored six points in his last three games. The pride of The Pas, MB recorded his 50^th career goal against the Hitmen back on Friday and will look to reach another milestone tonight.

Alternate captain Carson Latimer will look to continue an impressive stretch of games where he now has points in ten of his twelve games. The Surrey, BC product has netted himself five goals and eleven assists over that span and will look to build on that total this afternoon.

How you can listen to tonight’s game.
