The Medicine Hat Tigers will look to complete the sweep of the Calgary Hitmen tonight in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semi-finals series and advance back to the Conference Finals.
Medicine Hat enters Game 4 following a 5-2 Game 3 victory, which saw Tigers draft-eligible forward Liam Ruck score a hat-trick en route to a four-point night, while netminder Carter Casey turned aside 34 of 36 Hitmen shots.
As great as the performances of Casey and Liam Ruck were, the Tigers penalty kill was the real star of Game 3.
Their kill went five for six, but they killed off all five of their final five attempts, including 1:45 of 5-on-3 time midway through the third period while the game was still within one.
