Tri try again, Tigers handle Americans to extend win-streak to nine
The Medicine Hat Tigers defeated the Tri-City Americans 3-1 Saturday night to extend their season-high win streak to nine games.
Riding high off a thrilling 3-2 comeback win in Spokane the night before, Medicine Hat carried that momentum into Saturday’s action.
The first period would see some stop-and-start hockey emphasized by a physical brand of hockey imposed by Tri-City.
The Tigers controlled the opening frame, outshooting the Americans 12-2, but a late powerplay for Tri-City narrowed the gap entering the intermission, with the game remaining scoreless.
