Oct 29, 2022 | 9:59 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Tabbies had a late push, but couldn’t complete the comeback over the Saskatoon Blades.

Recently acquired goaltender Evan May made his Tigers debut in the tilt, snapping Beckett Langkow’s ten game starting streak.

May did not disappoint in his start, keeping the puck out of the net for the first two periods of the game. Although on the other side of the ice, Blades goaltender Austin Elliot was having a parody performance keeping the Tigers off the board.

The tie would not be broken until 9:52 of the third when Blades forward Tyler Parr would find a way to get a puck by May on the powerplay.

That was not the end of the scoring for Parr as he was able to get his second on the powerplay again, a little over four minutes later. Making the score 2-0 in favour of Saskatoon.
