The Washington Stealth have already clinched the playoffs, while the Edmonton Rush look to gain ground on the #1 team in the West. The Rush have only one loss at home, that coming from the Boston Blazers two weeks ago. With a win for the Rush, they could gain some separation from Calgary, who play in Toronto tonight.
