The Calgary Stampeders travel to Regina to face the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the first half of a home-and-home series that will wrap up the 2022 Canadian Football League regular season.
Saturday’s game represents the first meeting of the year between the longtime rivals.
Calgary (10-6) occupies third place in the West Division and is already assured of facing the BC Lions in the Western Semi-Final. The Roughriders (6-10) are fourth in the West and are vying for a crossover berth into the East Division playoffs.
The Stampeders are 4-1 in five regular-season visits to Regina since the current version of Mosaic Stadium opened in 2017. In 2021, Calgary won two of three regular-season meetings with Saskatchewan before dropping a 33-30 overtime decision to the Roughriders in the Western Semi-Final.
The Stamps are attempting get back in the win column after losing 35-32 to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last week at McMahon Stadium. The Roughriders, who had a bye last week, also lost to the Ticats in their most recent action as they suffered an 18-14 setback in Hamilton on Oct. 7.
Calgary is 6-2 on the road this season and 5-5 against the West Division. Saskatchewan is 3-5 at home and 3-6 against the West.
The Stamps and Roughriders will hook up again in Week 21, this time at McMahon Stadium in the regular-season finale.
