Tigers stomp the Oil Kings 6-1

Nov 24, 2022 | 11:16 AM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Tigers dominated the Edmonton Oil Kings 6-1, Wednesday night at Co-op Place.

The scoring was opened by the Oil Kings, but the puck did not come off an Edmonton player’s stick.

It was a misplay behind the Tigers’ net that caused Oasiz Wiesblatt to bank a pass off the skate of Beckett Langkow, and into the net.

Wiesblatt would make up for that mistake quickly, putting the puck in the Oil Kings’ net. That was his ninth of the season, tying the game 1-1 headed into the second period.

The Tigers would continue where they left off in the second, going up 2-1 only 5:53 into the period. It was the ninth powerplay goal of the season for Brendan Lee, and would tie him for first in the entire Canadian Hockey League.
