Tigers take down Oil Kings, extend win-streak to four games

Oct 8, 2025 | 11:03 PM

The Medicine Hat Tigers defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings 5-2 on Wednesday night inside Co-op Place to take control of first place in the Central division.

Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll opened the scoring late in the first period on the power play with a perfectly placed wrist shot above the shoulder of Ethan Simcoe to move the Tigers ahead 1-0.

Edmonton forward Gavin Hodnett would tie the match at one five minutes into the middle frame, with a shorthanded tally, but the tie was short-lived as minutes later Jonas Woo restored the Tiger lead.

Medicine Hat carried the 2-1 lead into the third, and Misha Volotovskii would extend it to two with his fourth of the season on a breakaway as a Tiger penalty kill expired.

Edmonton would get back within a goal with six minutes remaining, but it would prove too little too late as the Tigers added a pair of empty netters to emerge with a 5-2 victory.
