Medicine Hat Tigers beat Calgary Hitmen 7-3

The Hitmen ran out of gas trying to extend their winning streak to six games Saturday night, losing 7-3 to the Tigers in Medicine Hat.

Calgary took a 1-0 lead, thanks to a first-period goal from Chase Valliant, before the Tigers rallied to take a 3-1 lead in the second period.

However, goals from Oliver Tulk and Carson Wetsch brought the Hitmen back, before Medicine Hat exploded to score four goals to claim the victory.

The Tigers were led by Gavin McKenna, who had three goals and an assist, and Bryce Pickford, who scored twice. Liam Ruck and Hunter St. Martin rounded out the scoring for Medicine Hat.

Next up for the Hitmen is the Teddy Bear Toss on Sunday afternoon at the Saddledome against the Moose Jaw Warriors.

Puck drop is scheduled for 4 p.m. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and fans are asked to bring a small or medium-sized plush toy to throw on the ice when the Hitmen score their first goal.

More than 70 Calgary charities requested nearly 30,000 bears.
