Jevne, playing his final season in the WHL, was hurt in the Tigers most recent game against Calgary on Feb. 16 and missed total of five games. The Edmonton-product sits second on the team with 55 points — 26 of which goals.

Medicine Hat is coming off an overtime victory over the Swift Current Broncos last Saturday which snapped a season-high seven-game losing streak.
