The Medicine Hat Tigers begin a back-to-back on the road tonight against the Saskatoon Blades.

The meeting marks the third of four matchups this season between the two clubs, with the Tabbies holding a 2-0-0-0 head-to-head record.

The Tigers enter following a 4-3 victory Tuesday night against the Calgary Hitmen to conclude a three-game homestand.

Former Medicine Hat Tiger Hayden Harsanyi scored the game-winner with 4:16 left in regulation to secure the Blades their 23rd win of the season.

The Blades enter as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, one point behind the Brandon Wheat Kings and Calgary Hitmen, who are tied for fourth.
