Kooper Gizowski and Anthony Wilson each found the back of the net in the third period for the Hurricanes to slow the bleeding and negate the Tigers’ shutout attempt.

Medicine Hat has now won eight consecutive playoff games, dating back to Game 4 of the first round.

The Tigers’ powerplay, which was held goalless in Game 1, went three for five in Game 2 while the penalty kill was a perfect four for four on the night.

Harrison Meneghin stopped 13 of 14 shots he faced on the night before being relieved by Switzer.

Meneghin improves his record to a staggering 8-0-0 this postseason after having been previously winless through his playoff career.

The Tigers now have a pair of days off between games before the series shifts to Lethbridge, where the Cats will aim to take a 3-0 stranglehold in the series.
