Tigers earn fifth straight win over ICE, Bjorklund stays undefeated
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Nothing seems to be slowing down the Medicine Hat Tigers these days, extending their season-high win streak to five games with a 5-3 victory Friday over the Kootenay ICE.
After seeing their two goal lead vanish midway through the second period, Medicine Hat netted a pair shortly after to secure rookie Garin Bjorklund’s second career WHL victory.
Hayden Ostir needed just 11 minutes to open the scoring against the struggling ICE, sniping his ninth goal of the season past Kootenay netminder Jesse Makaj.
Medicine Hat held onto that 1-0 lead through the first intermission, adding another goal 1:43 into the second period from a Josh Williams redirect for his first goal in six contests.
