Key Player Matchups
Chris Streveler (WPG) vs. Ottawa Secondary
Streveler’s dual-threat ability will test a Redblacks defense that has allowed big plays through the air.
Dalton Schoen (WPG) vs. Ottawa Corners
Schoen remains Winnipeg’s top deep threat; Ottawa must contain him to avoid explosive gains.
Dru Brown (OTT) vs. Winnipeg Pass Rush
Brown has struggled under pressure; Winnipeg’s defensive front will look to exploit that.
Brady Oliveira (WPG) vs. Ottawa Front Seven
Oliveira’s physical running could wear down Ottawa’s defense and control the tempo.
