Medicine Hat Tigers aim to snatch a 3-1 series lead over Prince Albert Raiders in Conference Finals

Apr 29, 2026 | 12:00 PM

The Medicine Hat Tigers will look to move one win away from advancing back to the Western Hockey League Finals tonight in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals after a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind overtime victory last night.

Liam Ruck played overtime hero 4:07 into the extra frame, netting the second playoff overtime winner of his career.

Despite the win, Medicine Hat was outshot 38-21 in Game 3.

Jordan Switzer has been outstanding in net for Medicine Hat in this series, making 67 saves on 68 Prince Albert Raiders shots.

The Raiders now trail in a series for the first time all postseason and need to win three of the next four games in order to advance to the WHL Finals.
