The Blades have played 20 of their 32 games on the road this season, posting a record of 12-7-0-1 in those games. Their .625 winning percentage on the road ranks them 3rd overall in the WHL's Eastern Conference, while their 70 road goals lead the Conference.

With another three point game last night, Stransky has taken over the team lead in scoring with 38 points in 31 games.

The Dallas Stars prospect has continued his success from November, as he was named as the team's Heinrichs Jewelers Player Of The Month after leading the team in scoring with 15 points in 11 games.
Makarov Goes Home For WJHC The Saskatoon Blades kicked off life with their starting goalie with a victory last night in Brandon. Alex Moodie picked up his first win of the season as Andrey Makarov left Saskatoon early Monday morning as he headed home to Russia for the World Junior Hockey Championships. Makarov left Saskatoon for his second straight WJHC during his hottest stretch of the season. He had posted back-to-back shutouts for the Blades before leaving as his goals against average dropped to 2.84 and his save percentage climbed to .908. Pufahl Putting Up Career Year The Saskatoon Blades continue to get production from defenceman Matt Pufahl.

Pufahl has already surpassed his career highs in goals and points this season as in 2011-12 he had posted 1 goal and 11 points while splitting time between the Red Deer Rebels and Blades. Pufahl was injured late last season but has seemingly picked up where he left off pre-injury, as he's been a fixture on the Blades top powerplay unit this year.
