Tigers lose 6-1 to Pats, third straight game surrendering five unanswered
Medicine Hat's power play remains stuck without a goal over its last 18 man-advantages as the WHL club's skid reaches three games.
The Medicine Hat Tigers fell 6-1 to the Regina Pats, matching last Saturday's identical scoreline against Victoria and extending their losing streak to three games. Luke Cozens tied the game at one before Regina answered with five unanswered goals.
Cohen Klassen scored twice to open the scoring for Regina, while Liam Pue added two power-play goals. Zach Lansard and Matthis Paull also scored for the Pats. Regina goaltender Taylor Tabashniuk stopped 35 of 36 shots to earn first star honours, marking the third straight game in which an opposing goaltender has starred in a win over the Tigers.
Medicine Hat starter Carter Casey was pulled early in the first period after allowing three goals on eight shots. Cash Christie finished the game in relief, stopping 19 of 22 shots over nearly 50 minutes of work.
The Tigers' power play went 0-for-4 and has not converted in its last 18 opportunities, while the penalty kill operated at 50 percent for a second consecutive game. Medicine Hat continues its three-game road trip Saturday night against the Brandon Wheat Kings.
