The Rovers scored two power-play goals to cruise to their third straight win, a 4-2 decision over the Selects. Kris Draper opened the game on the power-play in the first period, only to see Fredrik Modin equalize less than a minute later. Goals by Glen Murray, his tenth of the season later in the first, and Adam Hall, his second in the second, put the Rovers up 3-1. Marian Hossa answered later in the second, but Nils Ekman scored another power-play goal in the third for the insurance marker. Chris Mason won his second straight game, stopping 15 of 17 shots.

The Rovers now enter a stretch of two days off, two days on for the next two weeks. After an off-day today, the Rovers will have two rest days breaking up three back-to-backs against the Sockeyes and Funboys, the Roadkill and Spectres, and the Wicked Ale and StrapHangers. Starter Martin Gerber is expected to be in the nets at home against South Edmonton.
