The McArthur Park Arena will be the site of the second clash between the One Hundred Mile House Wranglers and their division rival, Kamloops Storm.
The Storm jumped to an early one-nothing series lead last night with a three-one win buoyed by two goals from their dangerous powerplay.
The Wranglers hope to get some more of the offense that buried fourteen goals in the final two games of their previous series against the Chase Heat.
A split is the ideal situation for One Hundred Mile House as the series shifts back to the South Cariboo Rec Centre for Game Three and Four on Thursday and Friday respectively.
Kristian Stead and his .940 playoff save percentage are expected to get the start for the Wranglers.
