Both of the Rebels’ wins over the Tigers came on home ice and required overtime.

The Tigers will be without Finnish defenseman Veeti Vaisanen for the contest, meaning Gavin Kor will slot in on the blueline.

Jordan Switzer will make the start for the Orange and Black after Carter Casey drew the start in Friday night’s overtime defeat.

Puck drop is slated for 2:00 p.m. MST from inside Co-op Place.

The pre-game show gets underway at 1:30 p.m. on WILD 94.5 FM.
