STETTLER, AB – Another setback for the Medicine Hat Travelodge Cubs on Saturday night, losing their third straight game on the road against the Stettler Lightning.

Stettler opened up the scoring a little over seven minutes into the first period, as Dylan Houston put one past Josh Breznik to give the Lightning a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play.

That Lightning lead doubled midway through the second period, when Quade Cassidy scored his first of the season to put the Cubs down 2-0.

Medicine Hat tried to claw their way back early in the third, but Cassidy added some insurance with his second of the game 1:29 into the third to make it a 3-0 game.

Stettler capped things off with an Erik Rost goal with 9:03 left in the game to seal a 4-0 shutout win for the Lightning.
