Two of the league's best power-plays, and two teams battling for position in the WHL East meet up for a home-and-home this weekend.

The Moose Jaw Warriors and Regina Pats square off tonight at the Brandt Centre. Warrior defenceman Dylan McIlrath and company will be in charge of slowing down the Pats third ranked powerplay, clicking at a 27% clip.

The solution is simple, really.

“The first thing is to not be on the penalty kill, that would be the ideal situation,” said McIlrath.

After Friday night's affair, the two teams load on to their respective buses and head to Moose Jaw for a Saturday night bout.

Setting the tone early in the series is key.

“We'll run around, hit some bodies, and they'll for sure remember that when we come back to Moose Jaw,” said McIlrath.

Both games can be heard on the home of the Moose Jaw Warriors, Country 100.7FM. The actions gets underway with the pregame show at 6:45.
