Gerlach, Blades top Tigers for second time in less than a week
SASKATOON, SK — For a second time in four nights, the Medicine Hat Tigers had no answer for Nolan Maier and the Saskatoon Blades.
The 17-year-old net-minder was named the game’s first star after a 37-save performance, backstopping his Blades (13-7-2-0) to a 4-2 victory over the Tabbies.
Medicine Hat (9-9-1-2) has now lost three straight, which began with last Friday’s 3-1 setback to Saskatoon on home ice. They’ll play their second match of a four-game road trip Wednesday night in Prince Albert, taking on a Raiders team who has yet to lose at home this season.
Saskatoon’s goal scoring came from former Tiger Max Gerlach, who also scored in last Friday’s win in Medicine Hat, Kyle Crnkovic, Chase Wouters and Kirby Each.
