The OCN Blizzard (13-16-1) play their 31st game of the season tonight on the road against the Neepawa Natives (7-17-4).
Newly acquired defenseman Chris Kravchuck will be in the lineup, the hulking blue liner arrived in OCN last night after travelling from Drayton Valley.
Kravchuck already has one familiar face on the team in Nakehkoh Lamothe, who is now OCN's second newest player, Lamothe was a member of the Drayton Valley Thunder before being released and coming to the Blizzard.
These two teams met just last Friday but the Natives will be icing a changed team tonight after making a big splash with Dauphin over the weekend.
Neepawa sent '94 F Brayden Cuthbert to the Kings for 93 F Michael Sofillas and 93 D Colton Magwood. Neepawa then flipped Sofillas to Winkler for Luke Karakas.
We'll see how the changes improve the makeup of the Natives tonight.
As for OCN their big splash is the newly acquired Kravchuck as 6'3", 215 pound behemoth who comes to the Blizzard with a reputation for being a nasty, tough, grinding stay at home defenseman.
With a victory tonight the Blizzard would draw even with the Dauphin Kings for third in the division who they face on Friday night.
Game time is 7:30, you can catch it live on 102.9FM CJAR.
