It’s the second and final meeting of the season with Victoria dropping a 4-2 decision in Lethbridge November 7th.
The Hurricanes are also winless in 6, and as they kick off their 3 game BC Division road trip, playing next in Vancouver and Kelowna before returning home.
Lethbridge just wrapped up a 3 game homestand with a 2-0 loss at the Kootenay Ice Sunday, and fell by the same score two nights earlier to Red Deer.
Victoria opened a five game homestand with a pair of losses to Kelowna, 7-2 Saturday and 8-3 the night before.
The Royals are 6th in the West, 5 points back of the 5th place Chiefs who are playing Wednesday at the Silvertips. Victoria has a game in hand on Spokane, and will entertain them for a pair of games Friday and Saturday.
Lethbridge is 9th in the Eastern Conference, 5 points back of 8th place Kootenay, both with 10 games remaining. The Hurricanes are 6 games under .500 on the road this season (9-15-1-4), while the Royals boast a 12 over .500 record on home ice (19-7-1-2).
With one more win, the team can tie the franchise record for most wins in a season, held by the Chilliwack Bruins (33-31-4-4, 74pts) in ’10-11.
Netminder Ty Rimmer broke the Hurricanes’ franchise record for single season saves last week with 1,838.
