Tigers shelled for six, road losing streak continues in Swift Current
SWIFT CURRENT, SK – The floodgates opened against the Medicine Hat Tigers on Friday night, who were unable to keep their heads above water in a 6-2 loss in Swift Current.
Playing their first game since a 5-4 loss in Calgary on Sunday, the Tigers were looking to avoid their sixth straight loss on the road in the opener of a home and home series with the Broncos.
After a back and forth opening 10 minutes, the Tigers were caught puck watching with Tyler Steenbergen taking the loose puck and sniping on Michael Bullion for the game’s first goal.
Less than five minutes later, Aleksi Heponiemi dished the puck over to Giorgio Estephan who ripped a one-timer past Bullion near the left face-off dot to make it a 2-0 game for Swift Current.
