Wheat Kings goaltender Thompson shines in 5-2 win over Tigers
BRANDON, MB — The Medicine Hat Tigers ran into a hot goaltender Saturday night.
Logan Thompson made 41 saves as the Brandon Wheat Kings knocked off the Tabbies 5-2 in front of a home crowd. This is the Tigers third loss in the last five games.
Medicine Hat got a good taste of what Nolan Patrick is all about as well. The projected first overall pick in this year’s NHL draft scored twice, including the game’s opening marker midway through the first period.
Brandon took a 4-0 lead into the third period. Max Gerlach notched his 25th goal of the season with 12:17 to play. Mason Shaw found the twine moments later, extending his point streak to seven games.
