  • Jason Noble will serve his one-game suspension in this game for a crosschecking match penalty he received against Calgary in the pre-season. Noble dropped his appeal on January 1st after playing in the season opener in Rochester on December 28th.
  • Cameron Flint or Jordan Houtby will be making their NLL and Swarm debut replacing Noble in the lineup.
  • Expected starting goaltenders - Tyler Carlson for the Swarm and Tyler Richards for the Stealth.
  • The Swarm have not played in two weeks since losing their regular season opener in Rochester, 8-6
  • The Stealth opened their season in Colorado last Saturday losing 13-12
  • The Stealth will play their first ever home game in Langley, BC against the Swarm.
  • Kyle Sorensen is appealing his suspension that he got for his match penalty against Colorado on Janaury 4th. He has mentioned on the "Stealth Classified" show on NLL Radio that he is appealing in order to play in the home opener for the Stealth and to get another shot at his brother, Brock after having some issues with him in last year's games.
  • Rookie Scoring: Swarm 3 rookies 1g 2a //// Steath 2 rookies 4g 3a

Prediction: Minnesota Swarm 11 Vancouver Stealth 10
