Tigers dominate on weekend
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Medicine Hat Tigers managed to fight their way out of a rut this weekend.
After dropping a pair of games to the Lethbridge Hurricanes and the Regina Pats in the past week, the Tigers snapped their losing skid over the weekend, defeating the Vancouver Giants 5-4 at home on Saturday, and travelling to Edmonton to defeat the Oil Kings 5-2 on Sunday.
During Saturday’s game, the Giants were ahead 3-2 after two periods when the Tigers began to roar back.
Steven Owre, who scored during the second period, completed a hat trick in the third period to help pull the Tigers ahead for the win in front of 3,583 fans at the Canalta Centre. Owre’s third goal, which held as the game winner, came with seven seconds left in the game while the Tigers were shorthanded.
