Tigers in tough territory; battling CHL’s best Regina Pats
REGINA, SK — Anyone who’s anyone in the CHL knows the lethal power possessed in the Regina Pats locker room. Through 41 games played, the team has only five losses in regulation, and home to the WHL’s highest scoring team.
They’ve tallied 222 goals, and much of that comes thanks to forwards Sam Steele and Adam Brooks who sit first and second respectively in league scoring.
This offensive overload in the Saskatchewan capital is what the Medicine Hat Tigers are up against tonight at the Brandt Centre.
But if there is a team who could rival the Pats in terms of scoring prowess, it is most certainly the black-and-orange. Medicine Hat is second in league scoring, tallying 214 to date. Mason Shaw has established himself as one of the league’s most potent NHL draft selections for 2017, and Chad Butcher is carving up the Eastern Conference, nabbing 11 points since the turn of the New Year.
