The Rush are the reigning NLL champions, having secured the Champion's Cup last season before relocating from Edmonton to Saskatoon over the summer.

Rush coach Derek Keenan said the team will have to work hard to beat the Bandits this year.

"I still think we can be better and I think we're going to have to be better next week," Keenan said. 

Assistant captain Zack Greer said the team is getting better each time it plays and that bodes well for next week's game.  

"We know we got our hands full with that Buffalo team, so we got to come ready to play," Greer said. "I think tonight was a step in the right direction." 

On Saturday's game Mark Matthews scored twice and added five assists for the Rush, while Ben McIntosh and Robert Church had a pair of goals each. Adrian Sorichetti and John LaFontaine also found the back of the net.

Goaltender Aaron Bold made 39 saves for the win.

Tyler Digby led Calgary with four goals and Dane Dobbie struck twice. Wesley Berg and Curtis Dickson both scored and added two assists, while Peter McFetridge chipped in as well.

Mike Poulin started in net, stopping 36-of-47 shots in 57:19 of work. Frankie Scigliano turned aside the only shot he faced.
