Meanwhile, the Tigers are one point behind the Oil Kings with 21 and a record of 10-4-1-0 so far. They 4.0 goals per game and allow 2.7 goals per game.

Andrew O'Neill and Gavin Hodnett each scored for Edmonton in the game that was a one goal contest until two empty net goals were scored by the Tigers late in the third period. This will be the second of eight meetings this season.

Edmonton is coming off an 8-6 win over the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Wednesday, snapping a four-game losing skid. The Tigers are returning from their B.C. Division road trip where they went 3-2-1-0.
