Hurricanes end the season with a 3-2 win over the Tigers
MEDICINE HAT — The Canes last game of the regular season was just down the road in Medicine Hat Saturday night. The two teams spent most of the first 20-minutes sizing each other up.
The period produced one minor penalty for each team before there was a puck in a net. The Tigers were first on the scoreboard – at 17:48. Two minutes later, Nick Henry fired-off his 28th goal of the season, with the assist from Jake Leschyshyn and Nolan Jones, tying the score moments before the buzzer.
The next 20-minutes saw triple the number of penalties – all of them minor. At the six-minute mark, Nick Henry notched his second goal of the game, giving the Canes a 2-1 lead. It was ten minutes later that Jake Elmer planted a short-handed goal – his 39th of the season. The second period ended with the Canes leading 3-1.
The final 20 minute produced no penalties and the lone goal came from the Tigers’ Ryan Jevne, giving the Canes a 3-2 win.
