By Justin HublerMedicine Hat Tigers ReporterThe Medicine Hat Tigers saw their five-game win streak end Friday night at Co-op Place, falling 3-2 to the Calgary Hitmen in their first home game since October 24.
Calgary jumped in front early when Carter Sanderson scored his 17th goal of the season off a flukey bounce 2 minutes in but the Tigers answered just 21 seconds later when Yaroslav Bryzgalov tied it a minute after with an even more flukey bounce. Both teams had plenty of chances in the opening frame with Calgary outshooting Medicine Hat 9-7.
The second period was a back and forth one and the Tigers had a big chance when they got a 2-on-0 the other way but Aidan Hesse made the stop. Calgary then scored twice within a minute. Keaton Jundt got his first of the season off the rush with a nice shot and Shaun Hildebrandt added his second of the year just 49 seconds later to make it 3-1. The Tigers got one back before the period ended when Mace’o Phillips fired a wrist shot from the point late in the second for his second of the year and it was 3-2 going into the third.
Medicine Hat controlled the third period outshooting Calgary 8-3, but Hesse stayed solid and the game stayed 3-2. The Tigers got a late power play and pulled their goalie for a 6-on-4 advantage but the Hitmen killed it off. Hesse finished with 22 saves on 24 shots and the Tigers outshot Calgary 24-22 overall.
Carter Sanderson was named first star with a goal and an assist, Phillips took second star and Hesse rounded out the stars.
The loss was the Tigers’ first since October 28 in Wenatchee and their second straight home loss to Calgary after the 5-2 loss at home on October 24. The Hitmen now lead the season series 2-1 with five meetings left. The Tigers are 11-6-1 with 23 points through 18 games and sit third in the Central Division behind Red Deer, who have 29 points. Calgary, who now have 24 points, though the Tigers have played two fewer games than the Hitmen.
The Tigers are back in action Saturday night for Tigers Fight Cancer night, hosting the Red Deer Rebels.
