Medicine Hat Cubs play High River Flyers twice this weekend

Sunday’s home game starts at 3 p.m.

Medicine Hat heads into the weekend after splitting their games the previous weekend.

A 6-3 loss to the Cannex Cochrane Generals last Friday at the Kinplex, and a 4-2 win over the Copperheads in Coaldale on Saturday.

On Friday, the Cubs jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a goal from Nolen Sutherland.

The Generals scored two of their own to take a 2-1 lead into the second.

In the second, the Generals got the period’s only goal, a power-play marker to take a 3-1 lead into the third.

Cochrane would strike again early in the third period to make it 4-1.

Later in the period, the Cubs narrowed the deficit with goals from Colby Gulliver and Jesse Klimosko just 12 seconds apart, bringing the score to 4-3.

The Generals would seal the victory with two empty-net goals.

Last Sunday’s game in Coaldale didn’t look good for the Cubs early on.

The Copperheads jumped out to a 2-0 lead just past the midway point of the first period.

Treyden Kleikneckt got a power-play marker for the Cubs with just under two minutes left in the frame to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Josiah Jackson scored to tie the game 57 seconds into the second period.

He would strike again at the 3:17 mark to make it 3-2 for the Cubs.

Colby Gulliver would get the insurance marker later in the period.

Both teams went scoreless in the third period.
