BRANDON — 2020 NHL Draft prospect Ridly Greig scored his second goal of the game in the final second of regulation Tuesday as the Brandon Wheat Kings topped the Medicine Hat Tigers by a 4-3 score.

Cole Sillinger had the only goal through 20 minutes, but Luka Burzan (Colorado Avalanche) tied up the game early in the second. Corson Hopwo would re-establish the one-goal lead for the Tigers heading to the third period, but the Wheat Kings came ready to strike in the final period.

Goals by Ty Thorpe and Grieg’s first of the contest came in a 51-second span, forcing Noah Danielson to respond late to tie up the game. With things seemingly destined for overtime, a last-gasp play saw Greig take the puck hard to the Tiger net, with the puck ricocheting off the skate of a Tiger defender and into the back of the net.

Jiri Patera (Vegas Golden Knights) stopped 44 of 47 shots to earn his 12th victory of the season.
