Stankowski stands tall, Tigers fall to Hitmen in Calgary
CALGARY, AB – Not much going the way of the Medicine Hat Tigers on Friday night, dropping a 3-1 decision against the Calgary Hitmen in the first game of a home and home series.
Hitmen netminder Carl Stankowski limited the Tigers to just one goal on 30 shots, while Medicine Hat was unable to convert on the power play twice in their second consecutive loss.
After the Tigers and Hitmen went to the first intermission scoreless, but it was Calgary striking first with a Mark Kastelic power play goal 1:40 into the second frame.
Just six minutes later, Calgary defenceman Egor Zamula ripped a shot off the post past Tigers netminder Jordan Hollett to give the Hitmen a 2-0 lead.
