On the plus side, the Blades had the fourth best road record in the league this year.

They will need to find a way to get the puck past Tiger’s netminder Cam Lanigan, who has stopped 84 of the 85 shots he has faced.

There are some roster changes for tonight’s game.

Jesse Astles will be serving the final game of his suspension after his hit on Matt Staples in the opening game.

Also out is Erik Benoit with a lower body injury.

The puck drops tonight at 7:05 with the game broadcast live on Shaw TV.
