Feb 28, 2019 | 5:38 AM

The Grande Prairie Athletics return to the Coca-Cola Centre Thursday night as they look to try and take a commanding 3-1 series lead in their North Peace Hockey League semi-final series with the Falher Pirates.

Grande Prairie is coming off a 6-2 win on the road in Game 3 Tuesday in Falher and currently lead the best of seven series 2-1.

The Athletics will also be looking to do something which neither team has been able to do through three games, win at home.

The road team has won all 3 games so far in the series.

Puck drop for Game 4 between the Athletics and Pirates is at 8:30 p.m.

The other NPHL semi-final series between the Dawson Creek Canucks and Manning Comets resumes Friday in Manning with Game 4.

Dawson Creek leads the series 3-0.
