Here’s what to watch for in Saturday’s matchup.

• Mitch de Snoo, Dan Dawson, and Chris Corbeil were all moved to the Active Roster on Thursday. For Corbeil, this will be his first game of the season and first as a Toronto Rock after signing in the offseason as a UFA.
• With 25 penalty minutes in the Rock’s last game, he soared into the Rock all-time lead in PIMs with 449. Entering the Rock’s last outing, he sat third all-time, but passed Pat Merrill (436) and Dan Ladouceur (428) with his Bobblefist night penalty minute total.
• Nick Rose currently sits first in the NLL with a 9.03 GAA, first in wins with 12 and tied for third in Save Percentage at 80%. The Rock veteran has made the strongest case of his career for the Goaltender of the Year Award.
• Tom Schreiber currently sits at 42 goals with two games remaining. 8 goals would get him to 50 goals, and it would be just the second time a Rock player has scored 50 in a season.  Brett Hickey is the only one to do it with 50 in 2015.
• The Rock will wrap up their regular season next Saturday night in Buffalo. A Rock win will clinch the East Conference title for the Rock and home floor advantage throughout the East Conference Playoffs.
