In overtime the Tigers would be dealt a bad hand as they’d have to defend a Rebels power play but after a scramble in the crease and Samuel Drancak would hit the open net and that would seal the Tigers fate as they fall 4-3.

Game 4 goes Wednesday night at the Peavy Mart Centrium, you can catch the game on Wild 94.5 with the Voice of the Tigers Gino De Paoli and Lance Doll.

Game 5 is Friday night at Co-op Place in Medicine Hat.
