Medicine Hat Tigers News Release


Red Deer, AB - With 1.7 seconds left in regulation, the Red Deer Rebels with a late power play would find their way to a 3-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers Wednesday night. Taking a 3-1 Series lead in the Eastern Conference Quarter Final.

The Tigers would get a double minor power play in the first ten minutes but it would the Rebels for the second straight game get a shorthanded goal as Jhett Larson would notch his first of the series to make it 1-0 Red Deer. On that same power play as it expired, hometown kid and Tigers captain Tyler MacKenzie (Red Deer, AB) would notch his first of the playoffs on a wrap-around solving Rebels goaltender Chase Wutzke to draw the score even at 1-1. Despite outshooting the Rebels in the period, Red Deer did get out to a great start firing the first seven shots of the game that were controlled by starter Ethan McCallum (Brandon, MB). For the second straight night, the Tigers would be tied at 1-1 after one period of play.

In the second frame the Rebels would take the lead again at 6:54 as Carson Birnie would get his 1st of the playoffs and it 2-1 Red Deer. 47 seconds later Hunter St. Martin (Edmonton, AB) would chip-in his first of the playoffs from Oasiz Wiesblatt (Calgary, AB) & Dru Krebs (Okotoks, AB) would draw things even score wise. Red Deer would get two power plays in the period and it was an onslaught of chances by the Rebels that would see plenty of blocked shots and stops from Ethan McCallum and this game would stay square at 2-2 heading to the third period.

Both teams had opportunities to have a lead but late power play call for the Rebels was almost dissolved by the Tigers, but a net-front scramble leads to Kalan Lind being wide open to tap home his second game-winning goal of the series finishing off Game 4.

With the loss the Tigers will look to fire back in Game 5 Friday night at Co-op Place.
