Cubs fall to Copperheads in overtime, Breznik shines with 57 saves
COALDALE, AB – Josh Breznik put on a show for the Medicine Hat Travelodge Cubs on Saturday, helping the team to a single point against the Coaldale Copperheads.
Coming into Saturday’s game, the Cubs and the Strathmore Wheatland Kings were battling for the final playoff spot in the HJHL’s South Division.
Coaldale didn’t do the Cubs any favours in the opening period, outshooting Medicine Hat 16-3 and opening the scoring 1:31 into the period off the blade of Chase Williamson.
Despite being heavily outshot, the Cubs found the game-tying goal just before the midway mark of the second with Noah Irvine getting his 22nd goal of the season.
