Raiders shut out in Saskatoon as regular season winds down

Mar 24, 2024 | 12:25 AM

The Prince Albert Raiders didn’t really have an answer for the Saskatoon Blades this weekend.

After losing 5-1 to their arch-rivals on home ice on Friday night, it was more of the same Saturday as the Raiders lost 5-0 in Saskatoon as the two teams wrapped up a home-and-home series to conclude the regular season.

Despite the setbacks the Raiders still managed to sneak into the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, setting up a first round showdown with the Blades which begins with Game 1 on Thursday night in the Bridge City.

Game 2 will be on Friday night in Saskatoon before the series shifts back to Prince Albert the following week for Games 3 and 4.
