Snell stellar as Tigers fall 4-3 in a shootout to Oil Kings

The Medicine Hat Tigers overcame two separate two-goal deficits to secure a point but ultimately fell short, falling in a shootout 4-3 to the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Oil Kings netminder Parker Snell was outstanding in net for Edmonton, making 37 saves in the win, including several A+ saves in the third period and overtime to keep the Medicine Hat offense at bay.

Markus Ruck led the Tiger offense with a pair of assists in the win while adding the helper on his twin brother Liam’s opening goal, who also had a two-point night.

Arvid Drott deflected home his first career Western Hockey League goal late in the second period to get the Tigers back within one.
