Bryce Pickford scores a pair including overtime winner, Tigers defeat Hitmen 3-2

Bryce Pickford scored the final two goals of the game for the Medicine Hat Tigers, including the overtime winner, to give the Tabbies a 1-0 series lead over the Calgary Hitmen.

The game-winning goal came with exactly one minute left in the first overtime frame on the Tigers 42nd shot of the night.

Pickford restored the Tigers one-goal lead early in the third period on the powerplay, before Hitmen forward Ethan Moore tied the game at two nearly ten minutes later.

Kade Stengrim opened the scoring late in the second period, but the Tigers would only lead for 46 seconds before Kale Dach deflected a point shot past Tigers netminder Carter Casey to knot the game at one.
