Game Preview - Saskatchewan Rush vs Georgia Swarm
Dec 17, 2025Saskatoon, SK - We are back at home this Saturday for a showdown against the Georgia Swarm!
We’re back home following last weekend’s away game against Ottawa, entering this weekend with a 1-1 record. Coming into this weekend, Austin Shanks holds the team lead in scoring with 3 goals and 7 assists. Zach Manns and Robert Church are tied with the goalscoring lead at 6 apiece. It’s been a historic season for Church, becoming the all-time franchise leader in games played AND scoring his 900th career point over the last 2 games. Church has one other milestone within reach as he is 10 goals away from career number 400. Last weekend in Ottawa, Jake Naso returned after missing the season opener. The faceoff specialist won 17/23 faceoffs in his return game.
Georgia enters this game with a 1-1 record following a 9-5 win on December 13th, over the Oshawa FireWolves. Shayne Jackson currently leads the Swarm in goals (7) and points (9). The ever-dangerous Lyle Thompson has similarly been productive to start the year with 5 points over his previous two games.
