Bombers and Blackhawks meet Wednesday at 8:45 PM EDT with both teams still looking for a first win, and the early season context makes this an important one for each side. It is the first meeting of the season.

The Bombers have lost two straight, falling 1-0 to Mid Ice Crisis and 10-2 to the Grizzlies. Menno Peters, Avery Froese and Kurtis Peters have accounted for their scoring so far. The Blackhawks also come in at 0-2, after losses of 13-0 to the Grizzlies and 9-1 to the Golden Hawks. Andrew Zacharias has their lone goal. Luke Wiebe has appeared in both games for the Blackhawks, while Dillon Zacharias has appeared once.

With the Bombers given the slight edge, the question is whether they can turn that into a first step forward or whether the Blackhawks break through first.
