Pregame: Tigers at Raiders
MEDICINE HAT, AB – A quick two-game trip to northern Saskatchewan ends tonight for the Medicine Hat Tigers in Prince Albert against the Raiders.
The first game of the trip was a forgettable one, an 8-3 loss to the Saskatoon Blades on Tuesday. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead into the second period before the Blades scored six straight goals on the road to sweeping the season series.
Brendan Lee opened the scoring with his team-leading 18th goal of the season, followed by Shane Smith and Oasiz Wiesblatt adding third period goals.
As with last night’s contest, the Tigers are looking to avoid being swept by the Raiders, despite having the better overall record.
