Many fans were anticipating the return of forward Zack Greer, who was traded for Adam Jones in the off-season, however he was left off the lineup due to a lower-body injury.
The win keeps Saskatchewan in first place in the West Division.
The Rush are back in action on Saturday at SaskTel Centre when they take on the Calgary Roughnecks.
