Sillinger, Steele shine as Tigers earn first pre-season win in Taber
TABER, AB – It was a coming out party for Jaxon Steele and Cole Sillinger on Saturday night, combining for four goals to help give the Medicine Hat Tigers their first pre-season win of the year.
The Tigers netted three goals on the power play, taking advantage of an undisciplined Lethbridge Hurricanes club to pick up a 6-3 victory at the Taber Civic Centre.
Much like in the pre-season opener on Friday evening, Medicine Hat got out to an early 1-0 lead as Steele carried the puck into the attacking zone and went top shelf on Akira Schmid 2:16 into the game.
With just over a minute left in the opening frame, Jalen Price fed Steele in the slot for his second goal of the period to double the Tigers’ lead to 2-0 after 20 minutes.
