The Medicine Hat Tigers defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings 5-2, bouncing back from a loss to Red Deer the previous night to split their two-game road trip. Yaroslav Bryzgalov scored twice, including a power-play goal, and was named the game's first star.
Mace'o Phillips and Brayden Holberton each recorded their first goals as Tigers, while Tyson Moss added his second of the season. Goaltender Cash Christie earned his first start and win of the season, making 24 saves against Edmonton.
Medicine Hat also cleaned up its penalty trouble, going to the penalty kill just three times. The team's power play struggled early but converted on its final two chances to secure the win.
The Tigers now return home for a three-game homestand beginning October 3rd against the Prince Albert Raiders.
