Tigers end first half on a sour note blown out at home 7-1 by Oil Kings
MEDICINE HAT, AB – It took less than two minutes, but the Edmonton Oil Kings wasted no time in imposing their will over the Medicine Hat Tigers in the home side’s final game before the holiday break.
In the span of 1:55 early in the first period the Oil Kings potted three goals while former Tiger Josh Williams had a four-point night against his former team in a 7-1 Edmonton victory.
Medicine Hat’s defence struggled to contain Edmonton’s high-powered attack, allowing back-to-back breakaway goals from Dylan Guenther and Matthew Robertson just eight seconds apart.
Scott Atkinson made it a 3-0 game for the Oil Kings less than two minutes later, picking off a pass by Medicine Hat’s Parker Gavlas and skating past a falling Daniel Baker for a breakaway goal of his own 4:20 into the game.
