1. Us
The Stampeders look to continue their three game winning streak on Thursday night as they return home to McMahon Stadium to take on the visiting Montreal Alouettes.
The Red and White enter this week’s clash 5-1 on the season after picking up two wins against Winnipeg and handing the Saskatchewan Roughriders their first loss of the season over the last three weeks. The Stamps sit at 2-1 on the season at home going into Thursday’s contest.
2. Them
The Alouettes are 4-2 this year after picking up a last second 26-25 victory over the Toronto Argonauts their last time out. However, Montreal was delivered a devastating blow this week as quarterback Davis Alexander was placed on the six-game injured list. Veteran CFL pivot McLeod Bethel-Thompson is projected to make the start for the Alouettes for the foreseeable future.
3. Head to Head
This is the first of two meetings this season. The Stamps will travel to Montreal on Sept. 26 to finish off the two game set. Last year, Montreal picked up a 30-26 home victory in Week 5 and then the two teams tied 19-19 in Calgary in Week 15.
4. Fast Facts
It could be a milestone night for Stamps kicker René Paredes, who is just one field goal away from becoming the sixth player in CFL history to boot 600 field goals.
Defence has played a big role in both teams’ early-season success as the Stamps allow a league-low average of 18.5 points per game while the Alouettes are second in that category at 22.8 points per game.

7. Quotable
“They do what they do really well. They bring pressure to the quarterback and their (defensive backs) are smart players as well. So as a quarterback, just always got to be smart with the ball and my decisions, and get these playmakers the ball and let them do the rest.” – QB Vernon Adams Jr. on preparing for a strong Alouettes defence.
