Oil Kings hold off late Medicine Hat surge, topple Tigers 5-4
Despite a late comeback attempt the Medicine Hat Tigers fell 5-4 to the Edmonton Oil Kings for just their third regulation loss since Christmas.
The game began with a strong opening push from the Tigers.
After an early penalty kill, Tigers defenseman Veeti Vaisanen would lay a light point shot towards the Oil King goal of Alex Worthington and past the screened netminder to give the Tigers an early 1-0 lead.
Late in the opening frame, Edmonton would respond.
