Playoff hockey is about learning and growing each game during a series. The Moose Jaw Warriors head into Game 3 hoping that they've learned enough in the first two games to come out on top on Tuesday.

The Warriors find themselves in a 2-0 series hole against the Blades coming back to Mosaic Place after losing two close games in Saskatoon over the weekend.

"We've got a young group and we learned some valuable playoff lessons right away," said Warriors forward Luke Ormsby after practice on Monday. "Every mistake is magnified in the playoffs, we saw that Game 1 in OT and Game 2 right away on their first goal, so everything in the playoffs doesn't have to be pretty and we've learned that."

Moose Jaw has been right there with Saskatoon outside of a few little mistakes in each game that the Blades have done a good job of capitalizing on.

Heading into Game 3, the Warriors just want to build off the moments in the first two games when they were playing at their best.

"We've been playing pretty good, but we've just got to figure out how to put the puck in the net, that's the biggest thing right now, we're struggling with that," said 20-year-old defenceman Dalton Hamailuk.

"I saw the puck going in quite a bit more [in practice on Monday] so hopefully that carries over."

In both games, Saskatoon has come out and set the physical tone against Moose Jaw, but the Warriors are looking to change that in Game 3 to help them get back into the series.

"I watched [Game 2] myself yesterday and I wasn't happy with how I played physically and I'm sure other guys are the same way, so we've got an upset group and we're ready to tackle them on Tuesday," said Ormsby.

"I don't like getting hit all the time and I'm sure they don't either, so it's important for us to up certain areas and do that going into Tuesday, you can't just play the same game as last because it didn't work."

Hamailuk wants to lead the way in the physical area of the game, "Every hit is going to make it harder on them, every hit matters," he said. "That's a big part of playoffs and can help you win a series."

On the injury front, 17-year-old forward Brayden Tracey remains day-to-day and will be a game-time decision again on Tuesday for the Warriors. 

The Warriors and Blades will face-off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night. The Pre-Game Show gets everything started on Country 100 at 6:40 p.m.
