The Kootenay ICE will host the Everett Silvertips tonight in the only meeting of the season.
Last season in Everett the ICE won 3-1.
Last meeting in Cranbrook was October 28/09 and Everett won 4-1.
The ICE have won 7 of their last 8 games and have 5 wins in a row at home.
This is game #3 of a 7-game homestand and their last game was Saturday's 4-1 win over Portland.
The Silvertips are playing game #8 on 9 straight road games, so far 2-4-0-1 and are 1-4-0-1 vs the Central Division.
With defenseman Luke Paulsen day-to-day with an upper body injury, Joe Antilla will play on defense.

ICE GM Jeff Chynoweth's son Ryan, who has played 13 games this season for Everett, will play his 1st game at the Rec-Plex as a member of the WHL.
He grew up in Cranbrook and spent the last 2 seasons in Lethbridge.
