The ICE have won 3 in a row and have earned points in 5 straight games.
The Rebels ended a 7-game losing streak with a 6-4 win over Prince George.
The Rebels have 4 wins in 13 games, but of their 9 losses 4 have been in shootouts.
Defenseman John Negrin has points in 3 straight games (2 goals 3 assists for 5 points).
Players to watch - Landon Ferraro lead the club with 8 goals and 14 points. The 17-year old is in his draft year and should be selected in the 1st round. Rookie defensman Tommi Kivisto is from Finland and is also in his draft year and some ratings have him as a 1st round prospect.
