Feb 27, 2026 | 9:54 PM

Bryce Pickford is inevitable.

The Tiger captain netted his 36th goal of the season 2:33 into overtime to lift Medicine Hat to the 3-2 victory and their fifth straight win.

The Tabbies never led in the game until the final buzzer.

Josh Van Mulligen forced overtime with 3:03 left in the third period after pretty passes from Liam and Markus Ruck freed up the 20-year-old defenseman to net his fourth of the season.

Noah Davidson netted the lone other Tiger tally late on a power play for his 25th of the season to tie the game at 1-1.
