The Saskatchewan Rush lost a rivalry game their last time out as the Calgary Roughnecks came to town and won a low scoring 10-6 decision inside SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon. They will look to rebound this weekend down in Denver as they face the Colorado Mammoth in a Sunday matinee. 

The loss didn't shake up the NLL standings entering the final month of the regular season. With 11 wins the Rush are still in second place behind 12-win Buffalo, Halifax and Rochester behind them tied for third with 10 wins each, those four clubs being the only ones to clinch a playoff spot already. 

Now the Rush will be in Colorado to face the 8-8 Mammoth. In their last matchup back in March in Saskatoon the Rush won 17-12, looking for a similar score this time out after the disappointing offensive showing against Calgary.

The ball drops today in Denver at 2:00, the pre-game show starting at 1:45. Listen to the Rush take on the Mammoth live on Classic Hits Radio 1210/1330, or use the links below to stream online:
