Tigers collapse in third, fail to lock up division against Rebels
RED DEER, AB – A Central Division crown will have to wait at least a couple more days for the Medicine Hat Tigers following a 5-2 setback in Red Deer on Saturday.
Needing a win and a Lethbridge Hurricanes loss to lock up the division, the Tigers allowed four third period goals to see a 2-1 lead evaporate over the final 20 minutes.
The Tigers got the game’s first goal less than six minutes into the contest, with Kristians Rubins ripping one from the slot on the power play to make it 1-0.
