Feb 8, 2019 | 9:56 PM

EVERETT, WASHINGTON — Mads Sogaard’s masterful rookie WHL campaign has stretched state-side.

The Danish netminder secured his third shutout of his career, making a flawless 41-saves as the Medicine Hat Tigers edged the Everett Silvertips 1-0 at the Angel of the Winds Arena on Friday night. The 18-year-old has nearly as many shutouts as regulation losses this season, improving his personal record to 14-4-2-2.

It’s Sogaard’s second shutout in less than a week, following up last Saturday’s 16-save blank over the Brandon Wheat Kings at the Canalta Centre.

Captain James Hamblin scored the lone goal of the evening 16:40 into the second period with assists by alternate captain Ryan Jevne and forward Brett Kemp.

The ‘Tips, who sit first in the WHL’s U.S. Division, have their four-game win streak halted in the process. Dustin Wolf earned the game’s third star with 28 saves on 29 shots.
