MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Tigers have followed each of their last three losses with a win, a run they’ll look to extend tonight.

Bucked by the Swift Current Broncos 5-2 last night, the Tigers meet the Winnipeg Ice at Co-op Place on Wednesday.

The Tigers (24-24-8-1) will try to get their first wi in three tries this season against the Ice. The Tabbies lost 8-3 in Winnipeg on Jan. 18 and 5-2 in Medicine Hat on Oct. 1.

While Medicine Hat is battling with a handful of other teams in the lower rungs of the playoff chase, Winnipeg is sitting pretty up top. The league-leading Ice (48-7-1-0) have run away with the Eastern Conference and are 17 points clear of the second-place Red Deer Rebels.

Oasiz Wiesblatt leads the Tigers with 51 points, with Brendan Lee the team’s top goal-scorer at 25.
