Blades head coach Mitch Love said the team came out flat.

“It was just a readiness thing, we just looked rusty, we looked fatigued,” Love said.

“They got life off of those things.”

The Blades came up empty on five power plays, which Love said factored into the loss.

“We had a four minute power play in the third period, it probably could have given us a little bit of life – it didn’t,” Love said.

“I think if we score on one of those, it puts a little bit of pressure on the other side.”

Saskatoon now heads out on a three games in three nights road trip to Alberta, starting Friday in Red Deer.
