Medicine Hat Tigers comeback effort falls short, drop 4-2 decision to the Edmonton Oil Kings

Feb 4, 2026 | 9:47 PM

The Medicine Hat Tigers comeback attempt fell short as they dropped a 4-2 decision to the Edmonton Oil Kings to conclude a three-game homestand.

The Tabbies found themselves on three third-period man-advantages but failed to capitalize on all three, including a 92-second five-on-three power play.

Dayton Reschny and Noah Davidson got the Orange & Black within a goal, but despite seeming inevitable, the Tigers were unable to break through and tie the game.

The Edmonton offense came courtesy of Dylan Dean, Carter Sotheran, Ethan MacKenzie, and an empty-netter from Gavin Hodnett.

Jordan Switzer turned aside 20 of 23 shots faced in the loss and was named the game’s third star.
