The Tsunami (12-13-1-1) concludes their three-game road swing with the first and only tilt in Ridge Meadows (20-2-1-0) this season.
These two teams have a history with one another playing on Grey Cup Sunday, with the Flames securing a 4-1 victory on the Coast.
The Flames enter the game winners of their past three, while the Tsunami hopes to overcome a 6-1 defeat in Richmond last night.
It’s the final game of the month for both of these teams, and they hope to close the month with another two points.
