Søgaard stars for Tigers in Game 1 victory over Edmonton
EDMONTON, AB – Mads Søgaard’s WHL playoff debut was one for the ages on Saturday night, turning in one of his best performances in a Tigers sweater.
Dialed in all night, Søgaard allowed just one puck to get past him on 50 shots against to guide Medicine Hat to a 2-1 victory in Game 1 of their first round series against the Edmonton Oil Kings.
Following a scoreless opening period that saw Medicine Hat outshot 13-9 by Edmonton, the Tigers were able to break the deadlock early in the second frame.
Picking up a loose puck shorthanded, James Hamblin and Tyler Preziuso executed a perfect give-and-go play which was finished off by the Tigers captain to make it a 1-0 game just over four minutes into the second.
