Kootenay @ Brandon Game #9

The Kootenay ICE are in Brandon tonight.
This is the first of 4 meetings this year between the clubs.
Last year they split the 4 regular season series with all 4 games decided by 1 goal. The Wheat Kings won the playoff series in 4 straight games.
The ICE are coming off a 8-4 loss in Saskatoon on Wednesday while the Wheat Kings lost in a shootout to Calgary.
The ICE 6 game road trip is half over with 1 win and 2 losses.
The club will have Dustin Sylvester in the lineup after leaving Wednesday’s game in the 1st period.
Brock Montgomery is questionable for the rest of the trip after hurting his foot blocking a shot on Wednesday.
Brandon’s line-up is one of, if not the best in the WHL.
The ICE have scored 12 goals and given up 16 goals against in the first 3 games of the road trip.
Brayden McNabb has points in 8 straight games.
