The last time these two teams met in Adelaide they combined for a 25goal fiesta: Adelaide won the first game 5-3 and Perth the second 10-7

While the series was enjoyable for fans and neutrals, both sets of coaches will no doubt look to tighten things up defensively.

The series will feature an intriguing Goaltending battle between Adelaide’s Madison Smith, the U18 Junior Flyers’ gold-medal-winning netminder, and Perth’s Sasha King, who will represent the Senior Women’s Team at the IIHF Division II-B Women’s World Championships in Cape Town, South Africa.

An intriguing contest within the contest will be between top-line centres - Kate Tihema (Adelaide) and Michelle Clark-Crumpton (Perth). During an interview with the 'Net, Sticks, and Chill' podcast, Clark-Crumpton recently revealed that the player she enjoys facing the least is Tihema because she is a masterful face-off winner and shutdown centre

If Adelaide wins both games in regulation, they will leapfrog the Brisbane Lightning for the fourth and final Playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Perth will be eager to put some distance between itself and playoff hopefuls Brisbane and Adelaide, while gaining ground on Sydney and Melbourne.

Saturday’s game on February 4th will be World Cancer Day, and the Perth Inferno will be wearing a newly-designed jersey to commemorate the occasion. The jerseys will be signed and auctioned off in support of Cancer Council WA.
