The OCN Blizzard (12-6-1) and Neepawa Natives (5-10-1) have one thing in common, both teams are on a three game losing skid.
The Blizzard host the leagues worst team tonight. You would hope that it's a sure two points in the bank but the way things have been going of late that probably won't be the case.
OCN is coming off a 5-2 loss to Portage last night while Neepawa got shutout 4-0 to the steaming Stampeders.
The Blizzard need to play smart hockey, put the effort in and they should win, they are the more talented team but hard work beats talent.

TJ has been having a tough go since his return from injury and has been bumped down to the second line, it`s nice to see someone who works as hard as Garick get a crack at that top unit.
