Bradley, Fischer send hats flying as Tigers rout Oil Kings
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Finding the twine came easy for the Medicine Hat Tigers in this one.
Matt Bradley and Zach Fischer collected coinciding hat-tricks as the Tigers blew out the Edmonton Oil Kings 9-3 in the first game of a home-and-home series on Friday night.
Fischer got the scoring soiree started 8:13 into the first period. Edmonton was quick to tie it back up with Colton Kehler notching his 16th of the season just 1:21 later. But that was as close as the Oil Kings would get to gaining any sort of traction.
Two tallies from 20-year-old Bradley late in the opening frame kicked off an offensive overhaul for the home team.
