The Minnesota Wilderness and Kenai River Brown Bears will complete their 2024-25 regular season series this weekend with two games in Cloquet. The series comes at a pivotal moment for both squads as they are deadlocked in sixth place in the NAHL’s Midwest Division with 42 points and both teams hope to begin a late season surge to qualify for the Robertson Cup playoffs.

This will mark the middle weekend of a 6-game home stand for Minnesota. Last week, the Wilderness split a 2-game series vs. the Anchorage Wolverines. Minnesota won Friday, 6-2, before dropping Saturday’s game, 6-4.

The Brown Bears managed just one point in its 2-game set at the Janesville Jets. Janesville won in a shootout Friday, 3-2 before completing a 4-2 regulation victory Saturday.

Minnesota (19-20-4) and Kenai River (18-21-3) have met six times this season, with the Wilderness winning five. Their last two games were in Soldotna, AK, where the Brown Bears posted a 3-2 win on Jan. 31, before the Wilderness countered to win in overtime Saturday, also by a 3-2 score.   

Both games this weekend (Feb. 21-22) are scheduled for a 7:15 p.m. puck drop at Northwoods Credit Union Arena.
