The Northern Manitoba Blizzard kicked off their five-game homestand on Tuesday with an overtime loss against division rival Swan Valley.

Although the Blizz picked up a point for their effort, Northern Manitoba will be looking to bounce back this Friday and Saturday when the Portage Terriers come to town.

The Terriers are currently undefeated in the month of November, riding a three-game winning streak heading into the upcoming two-game series.

With the loss, Northern Manitoba drops to fourth place in the MGEU West Division, while Swan Valley moves into third.
