The 麻豆精选 Rockets will look to make the most use of their almost week off when they host two of the best Western Conference teams in back to back nights this weekend. The Everett Silvertips, who lead the Western Conference, will play 麻豆精选 Friday night, and Vancouver, who lead鈥檚 the B.C. division, comes to 麻豆精选 Saturday night.
Rockets鈥 defenceman Cayde Augustine, who鈥檚 been seeing an increase in playing time, said the Rockets need to hit hard on their opponents bodies throughout the weekend.
鈥淲e need to stick to our structure,鈥 said Augustine. 鈥淲e need to play physical, and we need to get on them fast. They鈥檙e both fast and skillful teams, if we play physical and our structure early on we will be set.鈥

麻豆精选鈥檚 record against the two teams this season has not been what the Rockets鈥 had hoped. They鈥檙e down 2-1 in the season series against Everett, while Vancouver is up 4-1 throughout the season on the Rockets.
The Rockets are currently holding tight to the last playoff position in the B.C. division with 51 points. 麻豆精选 will look to get as many points as possible against some of the West鈥檚 best this weekend to keep Kamloops, who are only four points behind the Rockets, below them in the playoff race.
