The Calgary Stampeders will be in search of their 13th victory in 15 games this season when the BC Lions visit Southern Alberta on Saturday.

Calgary were 12-6 winners in a hard-fought matchup on Thanksgiving Monday from Montreal. With the result, Calgary improved to 12-2 and clinched a home playoff game for the seventh consecutive year. Also in Week 17, BC won by a score of 26-23 over the Toronto Argonauts to improve its record to 7-7.

Saturday’s game marks the last regular-season contest at McMahon Stadium for BC Lions head coach Wally Buono, who has announced his intention to retire at season’s end. Buono led the Stamps’ coaching staff from 1990-2002 and is the winningest coach in franchise history.

Back on Aug. 4, the Stamps triumphed 27-19 over the visiting Lions. In their last 11 meetings with BC in Calgary, which includes two playoff contests, the Stamps have gone 10-1.

The Stamps are 7-0 at home this season and 4-2 against West Division teams. The Lions are 1-6 on the road and 2-4 against the West.

These two teams will clash once again in early November to close out the regular season in Vancouver.
