The Calgary Stampeders have a chance to clinch first place in the West Division when they face the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday at McMahon Stadium. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

It’s the PinkPower game presented by TELUS, featuring the annual campaign to help raise funds and awareness for the battle against women’s cancers. Limited-edition toques and scarves will be on sale for $20, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Stamps (13-1-1) carry an 11-game winning streak into the contest and need one more victory to clinch the 20th regular-season division title in franchise history. The Roughriders (8-7) also have something on the line as they can clinch a playoff spot with a win.

This is the third meeting of the season between the longtime rivals. The Stamps won both previous contests – 27-10 at McMahon on July 22 and 15-9 in Regina on Sept. 24.

Calgary was a 28-25 winner in Hamilton last week while Saskatchewan dropped a 33-32 decision to the Ottawa RedBlacks at Regina’s Mosaic Stadium.

The Stamps are 7-0 at home this season and have won 17 in a row at McMahon dating back to the 2015 season. Calgary is also 7-0 against the West Division. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan is 4-4 on the road and 3-5 against divisional opposition.
