The Stampeders will try to extend their winning streak to three games and put some distance between themselves and the pursuing Saskatchewan Roughriders tonight in Vancouver when they face the BC Lions at Empire Field. Kickoff at 8 p.m. MDT.CgyBCh2h.jpg

Calgary is coming off back-to-back home-field wins over Saskatchewan and Winnipeg and is trying to capitalize on the Roughriders’ Friday-night loss in Montreal to take sole possession of first place in the West Division.

Meanwhile, the hard-luck Leos are trying to put the brakes on a four-game losing streak in which the three latest defeats have come by a combined total of just 11 points.

The Stamps have won six consecutive regular-season meetings with the Lions over the past two seasons.

Take part in our Gameday Twitter feed tonight and you could win a SIRIUS satellite radio with six months service.

The game will be televised on TSN. Also, AM 770 has the call on radio with Mark Stephen and Greg Peterson.

For even more updates, follow media relations director Mitch Bayliss’ tweets from the heart of the action at Empire Field, the Lions’ temporary home while a retractable roof is installed at BC Place.
