Tigers face Hurricanes again after 6-3 preseason win in Lethbridge
Medicine Hat hosts Lethbridge at Co-op Place with several new faces set to make their Tigers debut.
The Medicine Hat Tigers play the second game of their preseason series against the Lethbridge Hurricanes tonight at Co-op Place, with puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. The teams opened their preseasons against each other Tuesday in Lethbridge, where the Tigers won 6-3 (5-3 in regulation).
Carter Casey gets the start in goal for Medicine Hat, making his first preseason appearance, while Cash Christie, who stopped 18 of 19 shots in Tuesday's game, will back him up. Newly acquired forward Josh Evaschesen, a local product picked up from the Kamloops Blazers last month, is set to make his Tigers debut.
Fans will also see the team's two 2026 CHL Import Draft selections, Arvid Drott and Denis Pasler, for the first time. Drott will skate on a line with Yaroslav Bryzgalov and Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll, while Pasler will pair on defence with Koray Bozkaya. Both clubs are expected to dress closer to full lineups after using their prospect pools in the opening preseason game.
