Reign Notes:

The Reign is coming off of a very impressive three weeks, as they are a combined 5-0-2 in their last seven games. All of them come from the top three teams in the pacific division. This is the final regular-season game for both teams as they are tied in points with 38 and looking to grab the fourth and final playoff spot. It all comes down to this Saturday night, whoever wins this game is in the playoffs, and whoever loses, it will be the end of their 2021-2022 season. The Reign have fought all the way back to be in this position as they look to continue their season heading into the weekend. 

Sabers Notes:

The Sabers are coming off of a four-game win streak against the long Beach Shredders and are looking to keep their season alive this weekend as well. As they are currently in the lead according to the standings, holding that fourth-place spot. The Sabers are running into a hot Reign team and are looking to put an end to the Reign’s very solid inaugural season. 

Who To Watch:

For the Reign, Junah Croteau and Brendan Bauer are the two players to watch as they have been lighting up the score sheet as of late. Bauer with 15 goals in his 10 games looks to extend his incredible streak. Croteau, the leading point-producer, looks to continue his season this weekend and continue putting up highlight real performances on the ice. 

For the Sabers, Elias Lindstrom and Adam Wedberg are the players to watch for. Lindstrom is looking to keep his incredible goal streak going. Scoring a total of 9 goals in two games against the Long Beach Shredders last weekend and looking for more. Adam Wedberg is coming off of a spectacular weekend against Long Beach as well putting up nine points, five goals, and four assists.
