Moose Jaw, SK - The Medicine Hat Tigers scored their first win on the road since October 12, with a tidy 5-1 triumph over the Moose Jaw Warriors Saturday night at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

Moose Jaw would open the scoring as Brayden Yager would notch his 9th of the season just 2:56 into the game on a Warrior Power Play. As the Tigers would get their footing in the opening period a flurry of chances in the final five minutes and on a two on one, Andrew Basha (Calgary, AB) would set-up Brenden Lee (Seattle, WA) for his 7th of the season at 17:10 to tie the game heading to the second period.

From there the Tigers would open things up and never look back, after a relentless forecheck by Dallon Melin (Czar, AB) the veteran would set-up Shane Smith (Cessford, AB) for his 6th of the season to make it 2-1 just 1:11 into the period. The hits kept coming shortly after as Brenden Lee would answer again as he added his 8th of the season to make it 3-1 Tigers at 8:19, just 1:56 later on a Warrior power play, Brayden Boehm (Nanaimo, BC) would break in on a two on one shorthanded and rip a shot past Warriors starter Connor Ungar off the far side post and turning the red light on for the 6th time this season to make it 4-1 Medicine Hat. Boehm wasn't done yet in the second with less than five minutes to go in the period on a three on one this time for the Tigers, Boehm would beat Jackson Unger this time five hole and give the Tigers a 5-1 lead at 15:14.
