MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Tigers will look to give head coach and general manager Willie Desjardins his 400th win behind the Tigers bench tonight.

Fresh off a victory over the last-place Edmonton Oil Kings on Tuesday, the Medicine Hat Tigers will look to make it two wins in as many nights Red Deer Rebels this evening. Tied 1-1 heading into the third period, the Tigers (10-13-4-1) exploded for three goals in the final frame on the way to a 4-2 win.

It will be a much tougher test tonight against the Rebels (18-5-1), who are first in the Central Division and third in the Eastern Conference. The Tigers are fourth in the Central Division and eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The Tigers and Rebels have split the season series so far, with each team winning in the other’s barn. The Rebels beat the Tigers 4-2 on Oct. 21, and the Tigers returned the favour with a 3-2 shootout win on Nov. 25.

Andrew Basha with 23 assists and 30 points Brendan Lee with 15 goals lead the orange and black attack.
