Hurricanes lose last home game of the season 6-2 to Medicine Hat

It took 13:25 for the first shot to go in, with Medicine Hat’s Eric Van Impe recording his fourth of the season to put the Tigers up 1-0.

Ty Nash of the Hurricanes responded shortly after, scoring his third of the year at 16:41 to tie the game up going into the second frame.

However, before the buzzer sounded, Chase Wheatcroft was issued a minor penalty for high sticking, but the Tigers were unable to take advantage of the power-play.

SECOND PERIOD

Chase Wheatcroft was called out again, issued a penalty 6:49 into the second for tripping. Following that call, the Tigers went on a big scoring run.

It started with the power-play goal from Oren Shtrom at 8:43, followed by Noah Danielson’s third goal of the season at 14:25.

This was followed minutes later by Ryan Chyzowski’s ninth of the year at the 18:15 mark. Medicine Hat would be up 5-1 going into the final period.
