The Swift Current Broncos have a chance to take a strange-hold of their first round series against the Regina Pats in Game 4 tonight.


Swift Current leads 2-1 and with a win in Regina tonight would be able to head back home on Friday with an opportunity to close out the series.


Broncos Coach and Director of Player Personnel Manny Vivieros doesn't plan to alter much of what they've been doing so far.

"Pretty much the same thing," Viveiros said. "Can't really change a whole lot. A couple of adjustments here and there, but nothing too drastic. They're going to be in a desperate situation they don't want to get down 3-1. We're going to see their best of the series so we have to be prepared."

Stuart Skinner has been one of the stories of the series so far for Swift Current allowing only three goals in three games thus far. 

"He's played well for us," Viveiros said. "He's kind of killed the momentum at certain times... when Regina has been putting us under pressure. He's been really good at that for us and giving us a chance to get the momentum back."

Both teams bring veteran experience to their lineup. That's something the Broncos feel has helped them keep the right mindset through the first three games of the series.

"The kids are focused but they're certainly loose," Viveiros noted. "They're not up tight. You get a little bit nervous at times when these games happen. They're certainly focused, but they're keeping it light and that helps them play better."


You can listen to Game 4 live tonight on The Eagle 94.1 with Robertson Family Group Broncos Hockey at 6:30pm.

Game 5 is back in Swift Current on Friday night.
