Pre-Game Report: Eagles vs. Silverbacks

The Surrey Eagles will host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks on Sunday afternoon in the second and final meeting in the season series.

Both teams will be playing their third game in three days.

Salmon Arm sits in fourth in the Interior Division. The Silverbacks have a three point lead on the fifth place Trail Smoke Eaters, but Salmon Arm also has four games in hand on the Smokies. The 'Backs are completing a lower mainland road-trip and are coming off a Friday night loss to the Langley Rivermen followed by a Saturday evening victory in Chilliwack over the Chiefs.
