Tigers enter final weekend of U.S. trip, take on reigning WHL Champ Silvertips

Nov 6, 2026 | 12:06 PM

It’s a battle of the last two WHL Champions tonight as the Medicine Hat Tigers continue their U.S. Division road trip against the Everett Silvertips.

Winners of three straight, the Tigers had to pull one out of the fire Wednesday night against the Portland Winterhawks.

After trailing 3-0 entering the second period, the Tigers would explode for five second-period goals before Tyson Moss completed the comeback win, 6-5 in overtime.

Liam Ruck had a career night, recording his third five-point game of his WHL tenure along with his second career hat trick.

Markus Ruck had an excellent game as well, recording four assists, including combining with Liam on the overtime winner.

The win extended the Tigers win streak to three games for the first time this season, a streak they’ll aim to extend to four tonight against the reigning league champion Silvertips.

Everett has struggled offensively out of the gate, averaging the fewest goals per game in the WHL, despite generating the second most shots on goal per game.

The ‘Tips currently occupy the final playoff spot in a crowded Western Conference and tonight marks their return home from their six-game East Division swing.

Their road trip wrapped up with a 3-2 shootout loss to the Moose Jaw Warriors on Halloween.

Everett managed to go 2-2-0-2 over their road trip, now excited to return home to a building where they have points in three of four games to start the year.

Medicine Hat will look to keep the momentum rolling from Wednesday night’s thriller against Portland tonight from the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett.

Puck drop is scheduled for 9:00 p.m MDT, with the pre-game show beginning at 8:45 on WILD 94.5 FM.
