SETTIN’ IT UP
The Roughnecks are looking for their fourth straight win when they hit the turf this weekend.
The club is on the road in Philadelphia Saturday at 11 a.m. MT to battle the Wings on TSN+.
Last Saturday, the Riggers (5-5) fought back against the Wings to pick up a 14-11 home win. Dan Taylor led the way with a season-high four goals and added an assist in the victory. The ‘Necks climbed back into the playoff picture with the win.
