Nov 6, 2022 | 9:22 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Tigers suffered their 5th straight loss Saturday, with a 3-2 defeat to their Highway 3 rivals the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

It was the Hurricanes that owned the first period, going up 1-0 on an in close shot from Jett Jones. That beat Tigers starter Evan May, for Jones 8th goal of the year.

The score would remain the same headed into the second period, and wouldn’t be changed until 6:59 of the frame when Lethbridge grew their lead. The goal was potted by forward Logan Wormald, that being his 10th point this season.

Down 2-0 headed into the third, the Tigers needed a quick answer. They got just that from team point leader, Andrew Basha who scored only five seconds into the final frame to put his team within one goal.

Lethbridge wasn’t willing to sit with the game that close for long though. As at 8:38 of the third it was forward Tyson Zimmer who answered back for his 2nd goal of the year.
