Quenneville slaps home two as Tigers claw up Blades 7-2
MEDICINE HAT, AB — David Quenneville’s trademark slapshot came in handy Friday night.
The Islanders prospect clapped home a pair, Tyler Preziuso and Linus Nassen locked in three-point nights, and the Medicine Hat Tigers returned to the win column with a decisive 7-2 victory over the Saskatoon Blades.
Following six days between contests, the Tigers appeared fresh and rejuvenated after surrendering a combined 13 goals in two games the previous weekend. Head coach & GM Shaun Clouston preached prior to the contest that a week’s worth of practice retooled nearly every area of the ice. Most of the focus come on defensive zone coverage.
His message was heard loud and clear by his players, surrendering just 22 shots, four of which in the second period, while peppering Blades netminder Ryan Kubic with 40 shots.
