Kastelic, Hitmen haunt Tigers in back half of home-and-home series
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Calgary Hitmen captain Mark Kastelic was a man possessed on Saturday, scoring early and often against the Medicine Hat Tigers in the back half of a home-and-home series.
The Tigers had no answer for the 19-year-old American, who piled up a hat trick against the Tabbies in a 5-3 setback at the Canalta Centre.
Coming off a 3-1 win over the ‘Tabbies’ on Friday night back in Calgary, the Hitmen once again opened the scoring just under eight minutes into the first period with Kastelic’s first of the night.
Less than three minutes later it was Calgary’s Luke Coleman doubling the visitor’s lead to a pair, picking up a rebound and going bar in on Tigers goalie Jordan Hollett.
