Copperheads top Cubs in overtime
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Travelodge Cubs came away with a single point following an overtime loss Thursday night.
Hosting the Coaldale Copperheads in the team’s final home game of 2017, the Cubs were able to tie the game late thanks to a late goal from Mackenzie Fritzler, but Sam Paskuski of the Copperheads spoiled the comeback in overtime, handing the Cubs a 4-3 loss at the Kinplex.
Thursday’s game was a back-and-forth affair. Jayden Bexte got the scoring started early in the first period for the Copperheads. Chasen McKenna responded early in the second period for the Cubs, but Brandyn Howg again gave the Copperheads the lead.
